Clinical Trial Summary

This compares the postoperative analgesic effect of ultrasound-guided pericapsular nerve group block (PENG) with ultrasound-guided fascia iliaca compartment block in pediatric patients undergoing hip surgery.


Clinical Trial Description

Surgeries involving hip joints in pediatric patients are associated with severe intraoperative and postoperative pain despite the use of systemic opioids. Caudal block is the most commonly used method of regional anesthesia in children to control intraoperative and postoperative pain in surgeries involving lower limbs. However, there have been many side effects of caudal block such as hypotension, urine retention, excessive motor block, technical failure, nausea, and vomiting which may limit its use. There are several techniques of ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia that are used to control acute pain in hip surgery with fewer side effects such as a lumbar plexus block, femoral nerve block, or a fascia iliaca compartment block. The fascia iliaca compartment block (FICB) was described in 1989. It remains a popular regional anesthetic technique for surgical procedures involving the hip joint and femur. Local anesthetic (LA) is injected proximally beneath the fascia iliaca to block the femoral nerve (FN), obturator nerve (ON), and lateral cutaneous nerve of the thigh (LCNT) simultaneously. The pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block was introduced to block the articular branches of the femoral, obturator, and accessory obturator nerves which provide sensory innervation to the hip. This regional anesthetic technique was described in 2018 for acute analgesia related to hip fractures. ;
