Regional Anesthesia by PENG-Block in Emergency Department
Summary
The study is a single-centre, open-label randomized comparative trial. Adult patients admitted to the emergency department for a hip fracture will be enrolled. Pericapsular nerve block (PENG-block) is a regional anesthesia technique developed primarily as an analgesic technique in a perioperative setting during hip fractures related surgical procedures. Some authors propose the use of PENG-Block as an alternative to fascia iliaca block and femoral block for the analgesic management of hip fracture in the emergency department, but scientific evidence is weak in this setting. The hypothesis of this study is that the use of PENG Block in the emergency department provides a better pain management for patients suffering from hip fractures with less opioid use.
