Conditions

Spinal Anesthesia, Analgesia, Hip Fractures

Brief summary

The purpose of the study is to compare the analgesic efficacy of femoral nerve block and peri-capsular nerve group block administered before spinal anesthesia for positioning to spinal anaesthesia in patients undergoing surgery for hip fracture and to evaluate the efficacy for postoperative analgesia

Detailed description

Spinal anesthesia is commonly used in patients undergoing hip fracture surgery. However the procedure of patient positioning to perform a spinal block is painful and may require the administration of IV analgesics or some regional anesthesia techniques such as femoral nerve block, fascia-iliaca compartment block, peri-capsular nerve group block. At the study, the investigators aimed to compare analgesic efficacy of femoral nerve block and peri-capsular nerve group block administered before spinal anesthesia for positioning to spinal anaesthesia in patients undergoing surgery for hip fracture and to evaluate the efficacy for postoperative analgesia.

Interventions

OTHERfemoral nerve block

Patients will be performed a femoral nerve block using bupivacaine thirty minutes before the performing of spinal block.

Patients will be performed a peri-capsular nerve group block using bupivacaine thirty minutes before the performing of spinal block.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Rate of pain scores assessed by Numerical rating Score Scale during positioning for spinal anesthesia30 minutesPain scores will be assessed by Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) scores (from 0=no pain to 10=maximum possible pain).

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Rate of pain scores at rest30 minPain scores will be assessed by Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) scores from 0 (no pain) to 10 (maximum possible pain) at rest before and 30 min after the block performance.
Rate of pain scores on passive limb lifting30 minPain scores will be assessed by Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) scores from 0 (no pain) to 10 (maximum possible pain) on passive limb lifting before and 30 min after the block performance.
rate of postoperative pain scores24 hoursPain scores will be assessed by Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) scores from 0 (no pain) to 10 (maximum possible pain).at 6, 12, 24 hours postoperatively.
Amount of postoperative analgesic consumption24 hoursPostoperative analgesic consumption will be recorded for postoperative 24 hours
