Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Score on the patient-reported QoR-15 questionnaire.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To compare pre-operative pain scores 0, 15 min, 30 min, and 1 hour post-block placement in patients receiving PENG, FICB and FNB in the ED.Block failure, defined as an NRS decrease of less than 2 points between block placement and 1 hour post placement.To compare the amount of rescue medication, presented in morphine equivalent dose in mg/hour IV (in the ED) or SC/PO (in the ward), calculated per hour exposure , calculated as mg/hour given IV in the ED after block placement or SC/IO in the ward during the first 12 hours after block placement or until operation.To compare complications of block placement in patients receiving PENG, FICB and FNB in the ED in the first 24 hours after block placement.
