Abstract
Background
Hip surgeries are one of the common orthopedic surgeries, especially in the geriatricnpopulation following trauma, postoperative pain control and early ambulation are the main concerns for decreasing hospital stay and postoperative complications. We aimed to analyze the ultrasound-guided pericapsular nerve group block (PENG) effect versus fascia iliaca compartment block (FICB) on the time needed for unaided mobilization and postoperative analgesics consumption in hip arthroplasty.
Methods
The study was a randomized, prospective, comparative study carried out at Ain Shams University Hospital where 44 patients subjected to hip arthroplasty were randomized into two equal groups; Group (F) in which patients received FICB under ultrasound guidance and Group (P) in which patients received PENG under ultrasound guidance. Both blocks were performed by injecting 20 mL of 0.25 % bupivacaine immediately after spinal anesthesia. The time needed for unaided mobilization was assessed by the time up and go test (TUG) and postoperative pain was assessed by visual analogue scale (VAS) in the first 24 h postoperatively.
Results
Regarding ambulation data over the first 24 h following surgery, the time needed for unaided mobilization was significantly shorter in the PENG group than FICB group. No statistically significant differences were determined between both groups as regards postoperative complications, total narcotic consumption, and VAS score. Conclusions: The Pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block demonstrated earlier unaided ambulation and delayed first rescue analgesia in hip arthroplasty compared to those who were administered Facia iliaca compartment blocks)FICB(in hip arthroplasty. Both blocks offered efficient postoperative pain control without difference in total opioid requirements.
期刊介绍:
The objective of this new online journal is to serve as a multidisciplinary, peer-reviewed source of information related to the administrative, economic, operational, safety, and quality aspects of the ambulatory and in-patient operating room and interventional procedural processes. The journal will provide high-quality information and research findings on operational and system-based approaches to ensure safe, coordinated, and high-value periprocedural care. With the current focus on value in health care it is essential that there is a venue for researchers to publish articles on quality improvement process initiatives, process flow modeling, information management, efficient design, cost improvement, use of novel technologies, and management.
