Overview
Brief Summary
The Ultrasound-guided Supra-inguinal Fascia Iliaca Block (SIFIB) is an advanced regional anesthesia technique strategically directed at the three primary nerves of the lumbar plexus. As the scope of regional anesthesia methods continues to grow in clinical application, this approach emerges as a versatile method. It can be used independently for pain management or as the primary anesthetic method, particularly in well-selected patients undergoing isolated limb surgeries or in combination with other regional anesthesia approaches.
Detailed Description
The study follows a retrospective cohort feasibility design, conducted within the confines of a tertiary hospital. The requisite data for analysis was acquired by accessing patient records and electronic data systems. A cohort of 16 patients was carefully chosen for inclusion in the study, and the administration of blocks was carried out before the surgical procedures.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •ASA I-III patients who underwent elective lower limb surgical procedures.
Exclusion Criteria
- •Patients who received general anesthesia, neuraxial anesthesia, or infiltration anesthesia were excluded.
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Block Success which provided surgical anesthesia, intraoperatively
Time Frame: Intraoperatively and PACU unit (up to 2 hours)
After performing the blocks, the sensory block was examined with a pinprick test using a 27-gauge hypodermic needle, (0 = no sensory block; 1 = tactile sense present, no pain; 2 = no tactile sense and no pain). Cases with a score of 1 or 2 after 30 min were considered successful.
Secondary Outcomes
- Additional analgesic requirement(Intraoperatively and PACU unit (up to 2 hours))
