Comparison of two ultrasound guided blocks in relieving post operative pain after hip fracture surgeries

Phase 2

Completed

• Conditions: Fracture of head and neck of femur, (2) ICD-10 Condition: S721||Pertrochanteric fracture, (3) ICD-10 Condition: S722||Subtrochanteric fracture of femur,

• Registration Number: CTRI/2019/03/017975
• Lead Sponsor: VMMC and Safdarjung Hospital

Brief Summary

The proposed study will be conducted in the Department of Anaesthesia and Intensive Care, Vardhman Mahavir Medical College, New Delhi, after obtaining written informed consent from all the patients.

All patients will undergo a pre-anaesthetic check up with all the relevant investigations.

Following the application of the blocks, the patients will be taken up for surgery after giving a subarachnoid block using hyperbaric 0.5% bupivacaine (2.5 ml) + fentanyl (15 microgram).

Monitoring of the level of block will be done during surgery and when the level of sensory block recedes to T10, 25ml of 0.5% Ropivacaine will be given through the catheter and a continuous infusion of 0.25% Ropivacaine at the rate of 5ml per hour will be started and continued post operatively for 24hours.
