To study the analgesic effect of ultrasound guided PENG Block vs Femoral nerve block in patients with Hip fracture presenting to Emergency department
Ultrasound-guided nerve blocks are an important tool for treating pain due to orthopedic injury in the ED. They provide long lasting, opioid-sparing pain relief that is generally safe and well-tolerated by patients1. Elderly patients with hip fractures commonly present to the ED, and their injury can be painful. Commonly used opioid pain regimens can have deleterious side effects, especially in elderly patients, like somnolence, delirium, hypotension and respiratory depression. The fascia iliaca compartment (FIC) block has become a familiar technique to emergency physicians as a pain control treatment for hip fractures. The pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block has recently been proposed as a novel method to treat pain due to hip, acetabular and pelvic fracture by targeting the terminal sensory articular nerve branches of the femoral nerve (FN), obturator nerve (ON), and accessory obturator nerve (AON). At this time there has been no study comparing the efficacy of the two nerve blocks, PENG and FIC. This aim of this study is to compare the efficacy of the PENG block (20mL of Bupivacaine 0.50%) to that of the FIC block (40mL of Bupivacaine 0.25%) for patients with hip fractures in the ED. Our hypothesis is that PENG will demonstrate analgesia that is non-inferior to FIC. Subjective pain scores on a scale of 0 to 10 will be assessed before and after the block. All subjects will receive 4mg of morphine after consent and prior to the block.
The objective of the present study is to assess whether specific cognitive intervention will influence rehabilitation outcomes of post-acute hip fracture patients.
Tranexamic acid (TA) inhibits fibrinolysis by binding to lysine binding-sites of plasminogen to fibrin. Fibrinolysis is stimulated by surgical trauma, and the administration of TA has been shown effective in decreasing blood loss both intra-operatively and in the immediate post-operative period in elective hip and knee arthroplasty patients. Both the timing and dosing of TA has been investigated in these patients. Subsequent blood transfusion rate has also been shown to decrease as result of TA administration. Despite the support for TA utilization that exists in the arthroplasty literature, the data is scarce regarding its administration during surgical treatment of hip fractures. This is patient population who is at high risk for transfusion due to symptomatic post-operative anemia. This study aims to investigate whether TA's advantageous effects in the arthroplasty patient population can be extrapolated to the more unstable, heterogeneous hip fracture patient population. If the study is able to show a difference in blood loss and transfusion requirement, the long term implications of this with regards to cost and mortality can be significant.
As the population ages, the frequency of surgery is increasing proportionally, bringing with it the challenge of managing older patients with frequent comorbid diseases and an increased risk of complications. Poor postoperative quality of recovery may result in patient and family suffering, a prolonged hospital stay, and a greater demand on health care resources.The purpose of this study was to evaluate the ultrasound guided percutaneous femoral nerve+lateral cutaneous nerve versus lumbar plexus+sacral plexus nerve block composite laryngeal mask anesthesia in elderly hip fracture surgery, the application of assessing their impact on the postoperative recovery quality.
The goal of the study is to evaluate whether pain control achieved by Ultrasound Guided Femoral Nerve Blockade (USFNB) is equal in efficacy to standard pain management practice of parenteral injection of opioid pain medication in patients presenting to the emergency department (ED) with hip fracture.
The purpose of this study is to create an institutional and population-based registry of Hip fracture in the elderly with a prospective survey based on epidemiological data, risk factors, diagnosis, prognosis, treatment, monitoring and survival.
Purpose: Hip fracture is a common disease on elderly. They become disabled easily if no adequate rehabilitation was given. The aim of the study is to compare the effectiveness of different types of post acute rehabilitation care for hip fracture.
With the development of society, aged population is growing. Hip fracture is the most common disease for aged people. With the life being longer than before, incidence of this disease is growing. The mortality of this disease is high—— almost 10% patients will die within 1 month, about 1/3 of patients will die within 12 months. About 20%-30% aged people who have hip fracture will die within one year. The damaged organs caused by excessive inflammatory is one of possible reasons to cause higher mortality. Therefore, the investigators imagined that if they gave medicines to patients in time to reduce the inflammatory level, the inflammatory might have less effects on organs, and the recovery could be improved. The investigators hypothesis on the basic research: the anti-inflammatory function of non steroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can inhibit the inflammatory level of elderly hip fracture, so as to improve the recovery level and reduce the complicating disease and mortality. The investigators designed a clinic study to research NSAIDS' effects on inflammatory level and prognosis of elderly hip fracture.
