Study Comparing Two Ultrasound-Guided Nerve Blocks for Pain Relief in Adults Undergoing Hip Fracture Surgery with Spinal Anesthesia

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating the effects of two regional anesthesia techniques, ultrasound-guided meta-PENG block and suprainguinal fascia iliaca plane block, in adults undergoing hip fracture surgery under spinal anesthesia. This study is observational and takes place at a single center. It aims to assess pain control during spinal anesthesia positioning and after surgery, as well as other recovery factors such as analgesic use, patient satisfaction, mobilization time, and hospital stay duration. Patients will receive either the meta-PENG block or the suprainguinal fascia iliaca plane block based on routine clinical practice and the anesthesiologists choice, without random assignment. Both blocks are delivered using ultrasound guidance as part of the standard perioperative regional analgesia management for hip fracture surgery under spinal anesthesia. The study observes two groups corresponding to these treatments. Participants will be monitored through hospital records and anesthesia data for pain scores during spinal anesthesia positioning using the Numeric Rating Scale, postoperative pain at rest and during movement, additional pain medication use, patient satisfaction via questionnaire, time to mobilization, and length of hospital stay. The study collects detailed intraoperative and postoperative data, with a focus on how well the regional blocks control pain and support recovery after hip fracture surgery.
