SiFi vs FNB Local Anesthesia for Hip Fracture Surgeries
Femoral Nerve Blockade (FNB) vs Suprainguinal Fascia Iliaca Block (SiFi) for Hip Fracture Surgery
University of Alberta
106 participants
Aug 1, 2024
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare two commonly used local/regional anesthesia techniques in adults patients undergoing hip fracture surgery. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are: • the impact of both interventions on patient level of pain. • impact on postoperative analgesics administered Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two local/regional anesthesia techniques, either femoral nerve block (FNB) or suprainguinal fascia iliaca block (SiFi). Both techniques are the usual practice at the hospital, and we are NOT aiming to experiment on new anesthesia technique in this study.
