Assessment of PENG Block as a Part of Multimodal Analgesia Following Hip Surgeries.

Effect of Ultrasound Guided Pericapsular Nerve Group (PENG) Block on Perioperative Pain Management in Patients Undergoing Hip Arthroplasty

to study the effect of Pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block as a part of multimodal analgesia regimen for hip arthroplasties

PENG block is a novel block described by Giron-Arango in 2018 to anesthesize the anterior hip capsule as it is supplied by branches from femoral, obturator and accessory obturator nerves, sparing motor function is an additional significance So currently the block is used to reduce post operative opioid consumption, delay time rescue analgesia, facilitate positioning for spinal anesthesia for hip surgeries and to accelerate mobility and so hospital discharge saving this vulnerable group of patient from any hospital acquired pneumonia, decreasing hospital stays, and improving recovery times would provide valuable insights into its cost-effectiveness and long-term benefits for healthcare system Our primary outcome to be studied is pain assessment via Numer Rating Scale over 24 hours postoperatively, in addition to to secondary outcomes including the aforementioned advantages.
