NCT07716358

Overview

NCT ID: NCT07716358
Lead Sponsor: Sahara Medical College Narowal PakistanOTHER
Official Title: Comparison Of Preoperative Ultrasound Guided Fascia Iliaca Block Versus Femoral Nerve Block for Proximal Femur Fractures Before Positioning for Spinal Anaesthesia
Brief Summary: Proximal femur fractures are among the most painful orthopedic injuries Adequate analgesia is essential to facilitate positioning for spinal anesthesia, reduce opioid requirements, and minimize related complications. The aim of study to compare the analgesic efficacy of preoperative ultrasound-guided Fascia Iliac Block Versus and Femoral Nerve Block in patients with proximal femur fractures prior to positioning for spinal anesthesia.
Conditions: Proximal Femur Fractures
Nerve Block Assessment

Ages Eligible for Study: Adult (18-64)Older Adult (65+)
Sexes Eligible for Study: All
Accepts Healthy Volunteers?: No
Eligibility Criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

ASA I&II status patients coming for proximal femur fracture surgery

Exclusion Criteria:

Patients with history of neurological disease (Alzheimer, dementia),

Patients with known contraindication to regional anaesthesia (e.g., signs of infection at site of block, coagulation abnormality i.e. INR >1.55, platelet count <80,000)

Patients with ASA III and IV status and patients with Known allergy to the study drug were excluded from study.
