Overview
Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to investigate the efficiency of post-operative analgesia by fascia iliaca compartment block versus pericapsular nerve group block block in reducing narcotic consumption during the first 24 hour post-operatively by using the Visual Analogue Scale.
Detailed Description
Total hip arthroplasty is a widely used surgical treatment intervention for treating hip conditions such as femur neck fractures and advanced hip osteoarthritis. Hip fractures are quite common, regardless of the age of the population (young or old), and they are extremely painful. A hip fracture is a serious injury with potentially life-threatening complications, and it is a common orthopedic emergency in elderly individuals. Early surgery within 48 hours of a fracture has been found to lower mortality and complication rates. The pericapsular nerve group block is a novel regional analgesia technique to decrease pain after THA while preserving the motor function. The local anaesthetic is deposited using this method in the fascial plane between the psoas muscle and the superior pubic ramus, which aims sensory branches of the obturator, accessory obturator, and femoral nerves in the anterior capsule of the hip. Fascia iliaca compartment block, for procedures on the femur and hip joint, is still a well-liked regional anaesthetic technique. Studies have found that FICB prevents complications by anaesthetizing the femoral nerve far from critical neurovascular structures while still giving enough analgesia. Both blocks could be used to effectively reduce pain intensity up to 24 hours, total opioid consumption, and length of hospital stay in THA patients.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
The effect of the studied blocks on the Visual Analogue Scale for pain
Time Frame: Immediately postoperatively (zero time)
the Visual Analogue Scale for pain is ranging from 0 to 10, where 0 is no pain and 10 is maximum pain
Change in the Visual Analogue Scale for pain
Time Frame: every 6 hours in the first 24 hours postoperatively
the Visual Analogue Scale for pain is ranging from 0 to 10, where 0 is no pain and 10 is maximum pain
Secondary Outcomes
- Mean arterial blood pressure change(24 hours postoperatively)
- The total dose of nalbuphine in mg was used postoperatively per patient(24 hours postoperatively)
- Heart rate change(24 hours postoperatively)
