Brief summary

The aim of our study was to evaluate the efficacy and patient satisfaction level of SI-FIB and lumbar ESPB for positioning and postoperative analgesia during spinal anesthesia in patients undergoing hip fracture surgery.

Detailed description

Hip fractures, which are one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity with increasing age, are common and usually require surgery and cause severe pain in the perioperative period, which may result in delirium, sleep disturbances and chronic pain. This pain can be managed using neuraxial and regional techniques, as well as pharmacologic agents such as nonsteroidal analgesics, opioids and gabapentinoids, and interventions such as periarticular injections and peripheral nerve blocks. Supra-inguinal fascia iliaca block (SI-FIB) is a technique that blocks all components of the lumbar plexus, including the femoral nerve, latero-femoral nerve and obturator nerve. It is thought to function in a similar way to the anterior lumbar plexus block. Studies have successfully demonstrated the effectiveness of SIFIB in reducing postoperative pain after hip surgery. The lumbar erector spina plan block (ESPB) has been described for use in hip and femur surgery and radiologic evaluation and clinical results have shown that it provides similar analgesia to the lumbar plexus block at high volumes. It is accepted that multimodal analgesia is the best option for pain control and peripheral nerve blocks are effectively applied for this purpose. In this way, opioid use and related side effects such as nausea, vomiting, pruritus and sedation are reduced, and early mobilization, reduced hospital stay and prevention of postoperative complications are also contributed.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Assessment of pain during spinal anesthesia positionThe NRS score will be recorded before the block. The NRS score will be recorded 20 minutes after the block is administered. The NRS score will be recorded when the patient is placed in a sitting position for spinal anesthesia.The primary objective of our study is to compare the effectiveness of SI-FIB and lumbar ESPB in patients undergoing hip fracture surgery by evaluating NRS scores during positioning for spinal anesthesia.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Postoperative Pain Intensity at Rest and During Activity0, 2, 6, 12, and 24 hours postoperativelyPostoperative pain intensity at rest and during activity will be assessed using the Numeric Rating Scale. The Numeric Rating Scale ranges from 0 to 10, where 0 indicates no pain and 10 indicates the worst imaginable pain. Higher scores indicate worse pain. Unit of Measure: Numeric Rating Scale score
Additional Analgesic ConsumptionFrom the end of surgery to 24 hours postoperativelyAdditional analgesic consumption will be recorded as the total amount of analgesic administered postoperatively.
Patient Satisfaction With Postoperative Analgesia24 hours postoperativelyPostoperative quality of recovery will be assessed using the 15-item Quality of Recovery questionnaire (QoR-15). The total score ranges from 0 to 150, with higher scores indicating better postoperative recovery.
