Conditions

Femoral Neck Fractures, Lumbosacral Plexus, Nerve Block

Brief summary

The more effective use of ultrasound in regional anaesthesia techniques has made different block applications possible. Lumbar plexus block is also used for post-operative analgesia and surgical anaesthesia. Currently, in-plane ultrasound-guided LPB is widely used in short-axis imaging and Shamrock imaging.

Detailed description

The purpose of this use is to investigate the effectiveness of lumbar plexus block application applied with in-plane and out-of-plane methods accompanied by Shamrock imaging.

Interventions

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Block application timeup to 20 minutesThe stopwatch will be started by another researcher with the needle skin penetration and the stopwatch will be stopped as soon as the needle leaves the skin.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of interventionsup to 20 minutesintervention from the same or another site after exiting the skin
The number of needle guidanceup to 20 minutesRetraction and re-advancement of the needle after skin entry without exiting the skin
sensory blockup to 40 minutesBoth lower limbs sensory block time after the applied block will be evaluated by pinprick and cold test (10.15., 20., 25., 30., 35. and 40 minutes).
motor blockup to 40 minutesBoth lower limbs Modified Bromage scale was used to evaluate motor block. Modified Bromage scale 0 No motor block 1. Raises the knee in flexion 2. Raises the ankle 3. Full block, can't move his foot
