Comparison Between Pericapsular Nerve Group Block (PENG) and Morphine Infusion
Summary
The pericapsular nerve group block (PENG) is a regional anaesthetic technique that was developed in 2018, primarily for total hip arthroplasties (THA) as a postoperative analgesia modality with motor sparing benefits. The block is thought to provide more complete analgesia to the hip by depositing local anaesthetic within the myofascial plane of the psoas muscle and superior pubic ramus. In this study, the investigators will assess the effect of pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block on pain control in patients with proximal femur fracture in the emergency department. The Control group will receive morphine as regular patient control analgesia (PCA) The interventional group will receive PENG block before being attached to regular morphine PCA
