About

The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of the PENG block and SIFIB in facilitating the positioning for neuroaxial anesthesia and their impact on the quality of postoperative analgesia.

Full description

Hip fractures are a significant health problem that leads to severe morbidity and mortality in elderly individuals. Neuroaxial anesthesia is often preferred in the surgical treatment of these patients due to its ability to maintain hemodynamic stability and manage postoperative analgesia. However, the severe pain accompanying these fractures makes it difficult to achieve an appropriate position for neuroaxial anesthesia, which complicates both patient comfort and the work of the anesthesia provider.

In recent years, peripheral nerve blocks have emerged as an effective method to overcome this challenge. The pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block and supra-inguinal fascia iliaca compartment block (SIFIB) are commonly used techniques for the management of pain related to hip fractures. While studies comparing the analgesic efficacy of these two blocks exist in the literature, data regarding their specific effects on neuroaxial anesthesia positioning are limited.

In this study, patients scheduled for surgery due to hip fractures will receive either a pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block or a supra-inguinal fascia iliaca compartment block (SIFIB). Both block procedures will be performed under ultrasound guidance and sterile conditions, following standard protocols. After the block procedure, the time taken for patients to transition into the neuroaxial anesthesia position (primary outcome) will be measured, and the level of pain experienced during positioning will be assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS).

In the postoperative period, VAS scores and additional analgesic requirements (secondary outcomes) will be recorded for 24 hours. Demographic data (age, gender, body mass index) and comorbidities will also be collected and used for intergroup comparisons. Throughout the study, patient privacy will be respected, and the collected data will be analyzed anonymously.

The study will be conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki, and informed consent will be obtained from all participants.
