It is challenging to give the patient position for subarachnoid block (SAB) as intertrochanteric (IT) fracture of the femur produces intolerable pain. In this study, we have analyzed the usefulness of combined ultrasonography (USG)-guided femoral nerve block (FNB) and lateral femoral cutaneous nerve block (LFCNB) to reduce the fracture pain before performing SAB.A prospective, randomized, comparative study was conducted on 60 American society of anesthesiologists (ASA) grade I and II patients (18-80 years) scheduled for elective IT fracture surgery. Group A (Baseline VAS score (T1) was similar in both the groups. Mean T2 (VAS score just before SAB) in group-A (3.2 ± 0.98) was lower compared to group-B (8.23 ± 0.7) withUSG-guided FNB and LFCNB can be used as an effective supplementation to SAB in patients undergoing surgery for IT fracture of the femur as it reduces fracture site pain, provides good patient positioning during SAB, and prolongs postoperative analgesia. |
