Spinal and Nerve block study for hip surgeries

Completed
Conditions
Acquired deformity of pelvis,
Registration Number
CTRI/2019/12/022488
Lead Sponsor
Department of Anaesthesiology
Brief Summary

Aim & Objectives: To compare the intraoperative hemodynamic stability & post operative analgesic efficacy in mini dose bupivacaine -fentanyl spinal anaesthesia combined with fascia iliaca block for hip surgeries in geriatric population.

Methods: Geriatric patients coming for hip surgeries who meet the inclusion criteria were recruited, and randomly assigned into 2 groups . Group A- Ultrasound guided fascia iliaca compartment block  performed with 30 ml of normal saline, epidural catheter is inserted in L2-L3 interspace (rescue anaestheisa) and unilateral spinal anaesthesia performed in lateral position with operative limb in dependent position with 0.5%  bupivacaine 5 mg+ 25 mcg fentanyl in L3- L4 inter space. Group B- Ultrasound guided fascia iliaca compartment block  performed with 30 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine, epidural catheter is inserted in L2-L3 interspace (rescue anaestheisa) and unilateral spinal anaesthesia performed in lateral position with operative limb in dependent position with 0.5%  bupivacaine 5 mg+ 25 mcg fentanyl in L3- L4 inter space. HR,NIBP, MAP, SPo2 will be monitored continuously from the start of giving anaesthesia  till the end of the surgery at an interval of 15 minutes. postoperative VAS scores and total dose of opioids consumed assesed upto 12 hours after surgery.



Expected outcome: Decreased post operative VAS scores and Opioid consumption dosage in Group B
