Not yet recruiting

• Conditions: Medical and Surgical,

• Registration Number: CTRI/2021/11/038334
• Lead Sponsor: Sree Balaji Medical College and hospital

Brief Summary

This is a comparative study, to be done in total number of 50 patients who are undergoing proximal femur fracture surgeries at Department of Anaesthesiology PM &CC,Sree Balaji medical College and Hospital, Chennai.

After confirming to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, patients will be selected consecutively and Assigned alternatively to either of the two groups. The first group shall undergo USG guided pericapsular nerve group block and the second group shall undergo USG  guided femoral nerve block with 10ml of 2% lignocaine plus 0.5% bupivacaine. Both the groups The procedure under USG guidance 20 minutes prior to positioning the patient for spinal anaesthesia. The quality of patients positioning during the spinal anesthesia was graded according to the scale( 1- satisfactory,2- good 3-optimal) and was recorded. Pain status will be assessed by numerical rating pain score before, after and while positioning the patient for spinal anesthesia. The hemodynamic status of the patients will be recorded throughout the whole process.
