Brief Summary

In this study we are comparing USG guided pericapsular nerve group block (PENG) with USG guided femoral nerve block (FNB) for improving positioning before central neuraxial block in patients undergoing surgery for neck of femur and inter trochanteric fracture.Single blinded randomized controlled pilot study with sample size of 30.two groups are taken in the study,Group P (PENG) and Group F (FNB).baseline vitals,VAS score and sitting angle will be measured.Each group will be give respective USG guide blocks with 20 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine.parameters are again measured 30 minutes after the block,while attemptin positioning for central neuraxial block.after positioning,patient position score is obtained.Use fentanyl if positioning is difficult.if positioning is not at all possible,covert the procedure to general anaesthesia and proceed futher.
