Abstract
BACKGROUND Novel interfascial plane blocks like PEricapsular Nerve Group (PENG) and SupraInguinal Fascia Iliaca (SIFI) blocks are effective for management of hip fracture pain. We compared the difference in the distribution of the dye injected and nerves stained by the addition of the SIFI block to the PENG block. METHODS A total of 24 designated dye injections were performed in eight soft-embalmed cadavers. Under ultrasound guidance 20 ml green ink injected bilaterally in PENG block and 30 ml methylene blue dye was injected in the SIFI block on the right side. The cadavers were dissected 24 h later to assess the extent of dye spread. RESULTS Extensive spread of dyes was seen on both side of iliacus muscle on the right side, but blue dye was not visible medial to the psoas tendon. The subcostal and iliohypogastric nerves were stained green in the infra-inguinal region. On the left side (PENG alone), the anterior division of the obturator, femoral and saphenous nerve (7/8) and iliohypogastric nerves (3/8) were stained in the infrainguinal region. In the suprainguinal region, the femoral nerve (5/8), accessory obturator nerve (3/8), lateral femoral cutaneous (1/8) and nerve to rectus femoris (4/8) were stained. The main obturator nerve trunk was spared with both injections while its anterior branch and accessory obturator nerve were stained with the PENG injection. CONCLUSION The study findings indicate that combined PENG + SIFI injections lead to an extensive craniocaudal and longitudinal spread along the iliacus muscle. We perceive that the combination of these two injections will have a superior clinical outcome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hip replacement surgery can be painful; postoperative analgesia is crucial for comfort and to facilitate recovery. Regional anaesthesia can reduce pain and postoperative opioid requirements. The role of ultrasound-guided suprainguinal fascia iliaca block for analgesia after elective total hip arthroplasty is not well defined. This randomised trial evaluated its analgesic efficacy. METHODS Consenting participants (134) scheduled for elective primary total hip arthroplasty under spinal anaesthesia were randomly allocated to receive ultrasound-guided fascia iliaca block with ropivacaine 0.5% or sham block with saline. The primary outcome was opioid consumption in the first 24 h after surgery. Additional outcomes included pain scores at 4, 8, 12, and 16 h, opioid-related side-effects (nausea, vomiting, pruritis), ability to perform physiotherapy on the first postoperative day, and physiotherapist-assessed quadriceps weakness. RESULTS There were no significant differences in 24-h opioid consumption (block vs sham block, mean difference -3.2 mg oral morphine equivalent, 95% confidence interval -15.3 to 8.1 mg oral morphine equivalent, P=0.55) or any other prespecified outcomes. CONCLUSIONS In patients undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty, ultrasound-guided suprainguinal fascia iliaca block with ropivacaine did not confer a significant opioid-sparing effect compared with sham block. There were no differences in other secondary outcomes including pain scores, opioid-related side-effects, or ability to perform physiotherapy on the first postoperative day.

Abstract
The incidence of hip fractures has continued to increase as life expectancy increases. Hip fracture is one of the leading causes of increased morbidity and mortality in the geriatric population. Early surgical treatment (<48 h) is often recommended to reduce morbidity/mortality. In addition, adequate pain management is crucial to optimize functional recovery and early mobilization. Pain management often consists of multimodal therapy which includes non-opioids, opioids, and regional anesthesia techniques. In this review, we describe the anatomical innervation of the hip joint and summarize the commonly used peripheral nerve blocks to provide pain relief for hip fractures. We also outline literature evidence that shows each block's efficacy in providing adequate pain relief. The recent discovery of a nerve block that may provide adequate sensory blockade of the posterior capsule of the hip is also described. Finally, we report a surgeon's perspective on nerve blocks for hip fractures.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The utility of using meat models for ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia simulation training has been well established. Feedback is considered the most important element of successful simulation-based education, and simulation offers an opportunity for evaluation. The objective of this study was to establish the discriminative ability of dye injected into a meat model to determine whether injectate is properly placed in the perineural (PN) space, thus providing an additional tool for learner feedback and evaluation. METHODS Meat models containing a beef tendon (simulating a nerve) were injected with dye in one of 3 locations: PN, intraneural, and intramuscular. Blinded assessors then independently interpreted the dye staining on the models, marked the interpreted injection location, ease of interpretation, and whether staining was present on the beef tendon. RESULTS Thirty meat models were injected with dye and independently assessed. Determining the location of injection was deemed to be easy or very easy in 72% of the models. Assessors correctly identified PN, intraneural, and intramuscular injections 100%, 95%, and 85% of the time, respectively. Assessor agreement was 87%. CONCLUSIONS The location of dye injected into a meat model, simulating a peripheral nerve blockade, can be accurately and reliably scored to provide feedback to learners. This technique offers a novel means of providing feedback to trainees and assessing block success in ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia simulation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In recent years, the suprainguinal fascia iliaca compartment block (SFICB) has become more common in clinical practice. This assessor-blinded dose-finding study aimed to determine the minimum effective concentration (MEC90, MEC95) of bupivacaine for a single-injection SFICB in patients undergoing arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament repair. METHODS This prospective study was conducted at a tertiary hospital (postoperative recovery room and ward). The SFICB was performed as a postsurgical intervention after spinal anesthesia. Seventy patients were allocated using the biased-coin design up-and-down sequential method. The ultrasound-guided SFICB was performed using different bupivacaine concentrations, and standard multimodal analgesia was administered to all patients. Block success was defined as the absence of pain or presence of only tactile sensation during the pinprick test conducted on the anterior and lateral regions of the mid-thigh six hours postoperatively. RESULTS According to isotonic regression and bootstrap CIs, the MEC90 value of bupivacaine for a successful SFICB was 0.123% (95% CI [0.098, 0.191]) and the MEC95 value was 0.188% (95% CI [0.113, 0.223]). CONCLUSIONS Our study showed that the MEC90 and MEC95 values for bupivacaine administered via an SFICB for analgesia were 0.123% and 0.188%, respectively. One advantage of using lower concentrations of bupivacaine is the associated reduction in quadriceps weakness.

Abstract
A woman in her 40s with an ischaemic right lower limb, who was on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) following cardiopulmonary failure secondary to bilateral alveolar haemorrhage, was scheduled for through-knee amputation. She was under mechanical ventilation and continuous intravenous medications. Considering her significant comorbidities, peripheral nerve blocks were chosen for anaesthesia. Ultrasound-guided traditional nerve blockade techniques of the femoral and sciatic nerves were not possible because of the presence of an ECMO cannula, altered anatomy following previous surgery on the same side and inability to turn the patient to a lateral position. An ultrasound-guided trans fascia iliaca for femoral and anterior approach for sciatic were rather used to accomplish the nerve blockades. Surgery completed without any complications and with reduced postoperative outcomes such as opioid consumption, other morbidities and mortality. This report is unique as the literature on peripheral nerve block approaches for lower limb amputations in ECMO patients is sparse.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fascia iliaca compartment block (FICB) is one of the regional nerve blocks used to reduce pain after total hip arthroplasty (THA). We aim to assess the efficacy of FICB in reducing post-operative pain and opioid consumption. METHODS We searched PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Embase, and Scopus on February 19, 2023, and we updated our search in august 2023 using relevant search strategy. Studies were extensively screened for eligibility by title and abstract screening, followed by full-text screening. We extracted the data from the included studies, and then pooled the data as mean difference (MD) or odds ratio (OR) with a 95% confidence interval (CI), using Review Manager Software (ver. 3.5). RESULTS FIBC significantly reduced analgesic consumption at 24 h (MD = -8.75, 95% CI [-9.62, -7.88] P < 0.00001), and at 48 h post-operatively. (MD = -15.51, 95% CI [-26.45, -4.57], P = 0.005), with a significant sensory block of the femoral nerve (P = 0.0004), obturator nerve (P = 0.0009), and lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (P = 0.002). However, FICB was not associated with a significant pain relief at 6, 24, and 48 h postoperatively, except at 12 h where it significantly reduced pain intensity (MD = -0.49, 95% CI [-0.85, -0.12], P = 0.008). FICB was also not effective in reducing post-operative nausea and vomiting (MD = 0.55, 95% CI [0.21, 1.45], P = 0.23), and was associated with high rates of quadriceps muscle weakness (OR = 9.09, % CI [3.70, 22.30], P = < 0.00001). CONCLUSIONS FICB significantly reduces the total analgesic consumption up to 48 h; however, it is not effective in reducing post-operative pain, nausea and vomiting and it induced postoperative muscle weakness.

Abstract
Ultrasound (US) technology has significantly expanded the spectrum of regional anesthesiological procedures in recent years. Abdominal wall blocks are becoming an increasingly integral part of a multimodal postoperative pain concept after abdominal surgery, gynecological or urological interventions. Thoracic epidural analgesia remains the gold standard for extensive surgery. The requirement for rapid postoperative mobilization and discharge after lower extremity surgery has led to the abandonment of neuroaxial or plexus blocks in favor of selective, peripheral blocks such as the PENG block or adductor canal block. The following article is intended to show the reader the change in the use of regional anesthesiological procedures for abdominal wall and lower extremity blocks using selected blockages.

Abstract
Ultrasound implementation for the facilitation of peripheral nerve blocks is well established. Ultrasound-guided lumbar plexus, femoral, fascia iliaca and supra-inguinal fascia iliaca compartment, pericapsular nerve group and quadratus lumborum nerve blocks have been employed for analgesia purposes in hip surgery. The combination of motor-sparing regional anesthesia strategies for optimal postoperative pain control with recovery protocols targeting to early and safe patients' mobilization constitute the current dogma of orthopedic surgery. Therefore, this editorial sets out to revisit the role of peripheral nerve blocks in postoperative pain management of hip surgery patients, under the prism of current orthopedic practice.

Abstract
Purpose Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is often associated with moderate to severe pain. The present study compared the efficacy of circum-psoas block (CPB) with supra-inguinal fascia iliaca block (SIFIB) for postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing THA. Patients and Methods In this randomized trial, sixty-four patients undergoing THA were allocated randomly to the CPB group or SIFIB group with 40 mL of 0.3% ropivacaine. The primary outcome was dynamic pain score at 6 h postoperatively. Secondary outcomes included dynamic pain scores at 12, 24 and 48 h; static pain scores; sensory and motor block; opioid consumption; time to first opioid request; length of hospital stay; patient satisfaction; and adverse events. Results CPB patients showed significantly lower dynamic pain scores at 6 (3.11 ± 0.66 vs 4.47 ± 0.74, respectively; P = 0.000), 12 (2.52 ± 0.73 vs 3.53 ± 0.85, respectively; P = 0.000) and 24 h (2.30 ± 0.57 vs 2.87 ± 0.71, respectively; P = 0.001) after surgery, as well as lower static pain scores at 6 and 12h (P = 0.001 and P = 0.033 respectively) than SIFIB patients. Lower opioid consumption was observed in the CPB group at 24 and 48 h (P = 0.000, both) than in the SIFIB group. Patients in the CPB group reported improved quadriceps strength at 6 and 12 h (P = 0.000, both), as well as better muscle strength of hip flexion at 6, 12 and 24 h (P = 0.000, P = 0.000 and P = 0.025 respectively). Compared with SIFIB, CPB was associated with increased sensory block coverage at 6, 12 and 24 h (P = 0.000, P = 0.000, and P =0.022, respectively). Conclusion CPB has a greater potential to alleviate postoperative pain and improve recovery in THA patients than SIFIB.

Bali C, Ozmete O. Supra-inguinal fascia iliaca block in older-old patients for hip fractures: a retrospective study. BRAZILIAN JOURNAL OF ANESTHESIOLOGY (ELSEVIER) 2023; 73:711-717. [PMID: 34582902 PMCID: PMC10625135 DOI: 10.1016/j.bjane.2021.08.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/17/2021] [Revised: 08/14/2021] [Accepted: 08/28/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Pain management in hip fracture patients is of great importance for reducing postoperative morbidity and mortality. Multimodal techniques, including peripheral nerve blocks, are preferred for postoperative analgesia. Older-old hip fracture patients with high ASA scores are highly sensitive to the side effects of NSAIDs and opioids. Our aim was to investigate the effectiveness of the recently popularized Supra-Inguinal Fascia Iliaca Block (SIFIB) in this population. METHODS Forty-one ASA III...IV patients who underwent SIFIB...+...PCA (G-SIFIB) or PCA alone (Group Control: GC) after general anesthesia were evaluated retrospectively. In addition to 24-hour opioid consumption, Visual Analog Scale (VAS) scores, opioid-related side effects, block-related complications, and length of hospital stay were compared. RESULTS Twenty-two patients in G-SIFIB and 19 patients in GC were evaluated. The postoperative 24-hour opioid consumption was lower in G-SIFIB than in GC (p...<...0.001). There was a statistically significant reduction in VAS scores at the postoperative 1st, 3rd, and 6th hours at rest (p...<...0.001) and during movement (p...<...0.001 for the 1st and 3rd hours, and p...=...0.02 for the 6th hour) in G-SIFIB compared to GC. There was no difference in pain scores at the 12th and 24th hours postoperatively. While there was no difference between the groups in terms of other side effects, respiratory depression was significantly higher in GC than in G-SIFIB (p...=...0.01). CONCLUSION The SIFIB technique has a significant opioid-sparing effect and thus reduces opioid-related side effects in the first 24 hours after hip fracture surgery in older-old patients.

Abstract
The enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols are a comprehensive therapeutic approach that prioritizes the well-being of patients. It encompasses several aspects such as providing sufficient nutritional support, effectively managing pain, ensuring appropriate fluid management and hydration, and promoting early mobilization after surgery. The advent of ERAS theory has led to a shift in focus within modern ERAS protocols. At present, ERAS protocols emphasize perioperative therapeutic strategies employed by surgeons and anesthesiologists, as well as place increased importance on preoperative patient education, interdisciplinary collaboration, and the enhancement of patient satisfaction and clinical outcomes. This editorial highlights the application of ERAS protocols in the current context of total joint replacement surgery.

Abstract
Study objective The ultrasound-guided (US-guided) suprainguinal fascia iliaca block (SIFIB) is a regional anesthesia procedure that targets the lumbar plexus. It offers versatility in clinical practice, serving as both a standalone method for adequate pain management and a primary anesthesia option. Our aim was to present clinical insights gained from the application of US-guided SIFIB, whether as a standalone procedure or in conjunction with another block, across various clinical indications for lower extremity surgeries. Methodology Our study is a retrospective cohort analysis designed to identify cases in which the SIFIB was used as a component of the main anesthetic method and to determine the success of the anesthetic method in patients undergoing lower extremity surgery between March 2022 and March 2023 in a tertiary hospital. Data such as block success, perioperative additional analgesic need, patients' demographic details, and block characteristics were obtained from electronic and paper-based patient records and analyzed. Main results We analyzed data from 16 patients who underwent lower extremity surgeries under SIFIB. Among these, 10 patients received SIFIB as their sole anesthesia method, while six underwent surgery with a combination of sciatic block and SIFIB. Briefly, the types of surgery were amputations, soft tissue excision, revision of knee prostheses, excision of knee tumors, patella implant removal, patellar ligament repair, patellar fracture repair, distal femur fractures (internal fixation), and vascular surgery. Six patients necessitated additional analgesics. No statistically significant differences were observed in demographic details, block onset time, and surgical duration between patients requiring and not requiring sedoanalgesia during surgery (p>0.05). Conclusion For patients planning lower extremity surgery, considering SIFIB alone or combined with a sciatic block as part of anesthesia management is a valid option, offering an alternative to a lumbar plexus block.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To summarize the recent literature describing and comparing novel motor-sparing peripheral nerve block techniques for hip and knee surgery. This topic is relevant because the number of patients undergoing same day discharge after hip and knee surgery is increasing. Preserving lower extremity muscle function is essential to facilitate early physical therapy for these patients. RECENT FINDINGS Distal peripheral nerve blocks may allow for preserved quadriceps motor strength and comparable analgesia to traditional techniques. However, few studies in hip and knee populations include strength or function as primary outcomes. For hip surgeries, studies have failed to show analgesic differences between regional blocks and periarticular infiltration. Similarly for knee arthroplasty in the absence of periarticular infiltration, recent evidence suggests adding combinations of blocks (ACB plus iPACK or genicular nerve blocks) may balance pain control and early ambulation. SUMMARY The use of motor-sparing peripheral nerve block techniques enables early ambulation, adequate pain control, and avoidance of opioid-related side effects facilitating outpatient/ambulatory lower extremity surgery. Further studies of these techniques for continuous peripheral nerve block catheters are needed to assess if extended blockade continues to provide motor-sparing and opioid-sparing benefits.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative pain after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) can cause negative emotions, such as anxiety and depression, which can severely affect a patient's long-term quality of life. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the impact of multimodal analgesia (MMA) on postoperative anxiety and depression following total knee arthroplasty. METHODS This study included 161 patients who underwent TKA from October 2020 to October 2022 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Wannan Medical College, including 79 cases in the control group and 82 cases in the multimodal analgesia group (MMA). The MMA group were administered acetaminophen 0.5 g/d orally 3 days before the surgery, and an ultrasound-guided fascia iliac compartment block (FICB) with 0.25% ropivacaine 30 ml in the inguinal region ipsilateral to the surgery was performed 1 h before surgery. After the surgery, 100 ml solution includes 100 mg ropivacaine, 2.5 mg morphine, and 0.25 mg epinephrine for intra-articular and periarticular injection. Postoperative conventional intravenous analgesia was used in the control group, including 100 mg ropivacaine, 2.5 mg morphine, and 0.25 mg epinephrine for intra-articular and periarticular injection. Patients were scored for pain, anxiety, and depression in the ward at 3 and 7 days postoperatively, and postoperative patients were scored using telephone callbacks at 3 months postoperatively. RESULTS It was found that the visual analog scale (VAS) scores for pain at rest at 3 days, 7 days, and 3 months postoperatively were significantly lower in the MMA group than in the control group (P < 0.05). The scores for pain with movement were significantly lower in the MMA group than in the control group at 3 days and 7 days postoperatively (P < 0.01), but they were similar at 3 months postoperatively. Compared to the control group, the MMA group had significantly higher American Knee Society scores (AKS) at 3 days, 7 days, and 3 months postoperatively (P < 0.05). Compared to the control group, the MMA group had significantly higher Lower Extremity Functional Scale and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale scores (HADS) (P < 0.05) at 3 days and 7 days postoperatively; compared to the control group, the MMA group had a significantly shorter hospital stay (P < 0.01). CONCLUSION Multimodal analgesia can alleviate postoperative anxiety and depression in the short term, reduce perioperative pain, improve postoperative recovery, and shorten the length of hospital stay.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) is one of the most commonly performed orthopedic procedures, and patients complain of severe pain in the postoperative period. The supra-inguinal fascia iliaca block (SIFIB) works as an anteriorly applied lumbar plexus block and is frequently used in hip surgeries. In this study, we evaluated the effect of SIFIB in patients undergoing TKA under spinal anesthesia. METHODS This study is a prospective, randomized, assessor-blinded feasibility study conducted in a tertiary hospital. Eighty-six patients with ASA I-III were initially enrolled, and after exclusions, 80 patients were randomized into two equal groups (SIFIB and control groups). The standard multimodal analgesia was applied to the control group, while SIFIB was additionally applied to the block group. The study measured the morphine requirement in PCA and pain intensity using Numeric Rating Scores between the two groups. RESULTS the 24-h cumulative morphine consumption was lower in Group SIFIB. Although there was a decrease in NRS at rest scores in the SIFIB group during some time periods, pain was moderate, and no differences in pain scores were recorded during exercise in all patients. CONCLUSIONS In patients undergoing TKA under spinal anesthesia, a single shot of SIFIB results in a significant reduction in the amount of morphine consumed in hours. This effect was most likely related to a decrease in pain at rest in the SIFIF group.

Abstract
We present the first documented case of achieving surgical anesthesia for a vascular surgery using the suprainguinal approach of the fascia iliaca compartment block (SFICB), in a patient with severe comorbidities from the cardiovascular system. More specifically, a male elderly patient with a history of cardiac amyloidosis, severe aortic stenosis, and coronary artery disease, was in need of emergent thrombectomy due to acute lower limb ischemia. During the evaluation of this patient, general and neuraxial anesthesia were both considered. However, the former would expose him to the risk of myocardial ischemia and other complications due to cardiovascular instability caused by the general anesthetic agents while the latter was absolutely contraindicated due to recent clopidogrel use and the specific pathophysiology changes induced by cardiac amyloidosis. Thus, a peripheral nerve block was deemed to be the best option in this case. SFICB, despite being challenging, could offer adequate analgesic results so it was the anesthetic technique of choice. The surgery was completed and the patient recovered appropriately. The aim of this report is to discuss the specific anesthetic considerations of this case, highlight the ability of SFICB to achieve surgical anesthesia in vascular surgeries, and increase familiarity with the procedure.

Abstract
Whether the fascia iliaca compartment block (FICB) involves the obturator nerve (ON) remains controversial. Involvement may require that the injectate spreads deep in the cranial direction, and might thus depend on the site of injection. Therefore, the effect of suprainguinal needle insertion with five centimeters of hydrodissection-mediated needle advancement (S-FICB-H) on ON involvement and cranial injectate spread was studied in this radiological cadaveric study. Results were compared with suprainguinal FICB without additional hydrodissection-mediated needle advancement (S-FICB), infrainguinal FICB (I-FICB), and femoral nerve block (FNB). Seventeen human cadavers were randomized to receive ultrasound-guided nerve block with a 40 mL solution of local anesthetic and contrast medium, on both sides. Injectate spread was objectified using computed tomography. The femoral and lateral femoral cutaneous nerves were consistently covered when S-FICB-H, S-FICB or FNB was applied, while the ON was involved in only one of the 34 nerve blocks. I-FICB failed to provide the same consistency of nerve involvement as S-FICB-H, S-FICB or FNB. Injectate reached most cranial in specimens treated with S-FICB-H. Our results demonstrate that even the technique with the most extensive cranial spread (S-FICB-H) does not lead to ON involvement and as such, the ON seems unrelated to FICB. Separate ON block should be considered when clinically indicated.

Abstract
Background Local anesthetic fascia iliaca blocks (FIB) are used for peri- and post-operative analgesia in hip fracture patients. The loss of resistance technique (LORT) and the suprainguinal approach (SIA) are two techniques commonly used. We present a pilot, first cadaveric study model that compares both techniques. Methods Methylene blue dye was injected as a local anesthetic substitute. This dye is easily visible. Both hips on each of the seven cadavers were injected with one of the two techniques used per side. Single-blinded randomization was conducted to determine the technique to be administered in each hip. Ten minutes after injection, the dissection of the femoral, obturator, and lateral femoral cutaneous nerves (LFCN) revealed the dye spread around these nerves. The SIA and the LORT were compared in their area of dye distribution using the Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed-rank test. The hips of a single cadaver were matched, since these received the injection via a different technique. Results The area of dye spread was greater in the SIA for five cadavers. Dye spread was greater following the LORT in two cadavers. However, the Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed-ranked test revealed no statistically significant difference in the area of dye spread following both techniques (p= 0.866). The SIA showed that the femoral, obturator, and LFCN were stained in six, three, and seven cadavers, respectively. The LORT resulted in five, two, and five of these nerves being stained, respectively. Conclusion This study found no statistically significant difference in terms of the area of dye spread between the SIA and the LORT. The number of nerves stained was greater following the SIA. This suggests that the SIA may lead to superior anesthetic outcomes. This conclusion is limited by the low sample size in this study. This work warrants the collection of more data through the same method to support or challenge our findings.

BACKGROUND Hip arthroplasty is effective in treating hip diseases, such as osteoarthritis and hip fracture, but it often brings severe trauma and pain. In recent years, ultrasound-guided supra-inguinal fascia iliaca compartment block(S-FICB) has become a widely used nerve block method for analgesia in hip arthroplasty. METHODS Fifty-three patients preparing for hip arthroplasty were prospectively enrolled. S-FICB was performed under ultrasound guidance, and inject 0.33% ropivacaine into the space. Using the biased-coin design (BCD) sequential allocation method. The initial volume of 0.33% ropivacaine was 30ml. In case of failure, the next patient received a higher volume (defined as the previous volume with an increment of 1.2 mL). If the previous patient had a successful block, the next patient was randomized to a lower volume (defined as the previous volume with a decrement of 1.2 mL), with a probability of b = 0.05, or the same volume, with a probability of 1 - b = 0.95. The study was stopped when 45 successful blocks were achieved. RESULTS Forty-five patients (84.9%) were blocked successfully. The 95% effective volume (EV95) was 34.06ml (95%CI 33.35 ~ 36.28ml). There were 31 patients with non-fracture in this study. The quadriceps muscle strength decreased in only two patients. Moreover, they both received 34.8ml of ropivacaine for S-FICB. Twenty-two patients had hip fractures. There were 3 patients (14%) with failed blocks and 19 patients (86%) with successful blocks. However, all fracture patients experienced less pain after S-FICB. CONCLUSION EV95 of 0.33% ropivacaine for ultrasound-guided S-FICB was 34.06ml. TRIAL REGISTRATION The trial was registered at the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (registration number: ChiCTR2100052214, registration date: 2021 October 22).

Abstract
Background The aim of this study is to evaluate analgesic efficacy of pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block in patients with intertrochanteric femur fracture (IFF). Methods This double-blinded randomized controlled trial in patients with IFF scheduled for proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA) between December 2020 and November 2021. The primary outcome was VAS scores during exercising at 6 h after surgery; secondary outcomes were pain during exercising and rest, intraoperative dose of remifentanil, cumulative dose of postoperative fentanyl, postoperative analgesia satisfaction scores, and ratio of quadriceps weakness. Results A total of 50 patients were randomly divided into PENG block group (n = 25) or fascia iliaca compartment block (FICB) group (n = 25). Exercising VAS scores at 6 h after surgery were significantly lower in PENG block group than that in FICB group (2 (2, 4) vs. 6 (4, 7), P < 0.001). The intraoperative dose of remifentanil and cumulative dose of postoperative fentanyl by patient-controlled intravenous analgesia within 24 h after surgery in PENG block group were significantly lower than in FICB group (both P < 0.001). Postoperative analgesia satisfaction scores in PENG block group were significantly higher than those in FICB group (P = 0.016). The ratio of quadriceps weakness at 6 h after surgery was significantly higher in FICB group than PENG block group (48% vs. 0%, P < 0.001). Conclusions Compared to FICB, ultrasound-guided PENG block may provide better postoperative pain relief in patients with IFF, with less pronounced quadriceps weakness.

Abstract
Recent recommendations describe a set of core anatomical structures to identify on ultrasound for the performance of basic blocks in ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia (UGRA). This project aimed to generate consensus recommendations for core structures to identify during the performance of intermediate and advanced blocks. An initial longlist of structures was refined by an international panel of key opinion leaders in UGRA over a three-round Delphi process. All rounds were conducted virtually and anonymously. Blocks were considered twice in each round: for “orientation scanning” (the dynamic process of acquiring the final view) and for “block view” (which visualizes the block site and is maintained for needle insertion/injection). A “strong recommendation” was made if ≥75% of participants rated any structure as “definitely include” in any round. A “weak recommendation” was made if >50% of participants rated it as “definitely include” or “probably include” for all rounds, but the criterion for strong recommendation was never met. Structures which did not meet either criterion were excluded. Forty-one participants were invited and 40 accepted; 38 completed all three rounds. Participants considered the ultrasound scanning for 19 peripheral nerve blocks across all three rounds. Two hundred and seventy-four structures were reviewed for both orientation scanning and block view; a “strong recommendation” was made for 60 structures on orientation scanning and 44 on the block view. A “weak recommendation” was made for 107 and 62 structures, respectively. These recommendations are intended to help standardize teaching and research in UGRA and support widespread and consistent practice.

Abstract
PURPOSE Peripheral nerve blocks improve analgesia following hip fracture; however, there are little published data on safety and outcomes of continuous regional anesthetic techniques. Our institution offers pre- and perioperative, anesthesiologist-delivered ultrasound-guided suprainguinal fascia iliaca catheters (FICs) to patients with hip fracture. We aimed to document the safety profile of this technique and establish whether there are any significant clinical benefits in outcomes measured by the UK National Hip Fracture Database. METHODS We performed a single-centre historical cohort study of 2,187 patients admitted to our institution with hip fracture over a 5.75-year period. Of these, 915 were treated with FIC and 1,272 received standard care (single-shot block). To control for baseline differences between these two cohorts, we used propensity score matching and exact matching, resulting in two well-matched groups of 728 patients treated with an FIC and standard care. RESULTS No serious complications were observed as a result of an FIC. Unplanned removal occurred in 146/852 (17.1%) patients with documented data. No differences in 30-day mortality, pressure ulcer rates, or hospital length of stay were observed between the matched groups. The percentage of patients who were discharged to their usual residence was 79.3% in the FIC cohort vs 75.1% in the standard care cohort (difference, 4.2%; 95% confidence interval, -0.1 to 8.4; P = 0.06). DISCUSSION Our single-centre propensity-matched historical cohort study suggests that ultrasound-guided suprainguinal fascia iliaca catheterization is a safe technique for patients with hip fracture and that our service is deliverable and sustainable within the UK's National Health Service. This study did not show statistically significant differences in outcomes between patients treated with FIC and standard care. An adequately powered multicentre randomized controlled trial comparing these approaches is warranted.

Comparison Between Ultrasound-Guided Suprainguinal Fascia Iliaca Block and Anterior Quadratus Lumborum Block for Total Hip Arthroplasty: A Prospective, Double-Blind, Randomized Controlled Trial. J Arthroplasty 2022; 37:763-769. [PMID: 35026362 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2022.01.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/08/2021] [Revised: 12/22/2021] [Accepted: 01/04/2022] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Nerve block is a key technique in postoperative analgesia for total hip arthroplasty (THA). This study aimed to compare ultrasound-guided suprainguinal fascia iliaca block (SFIB) and anterior quadratus lumborum block (AQLB) in patients undergoing primary THA. METHODS In this prospective, double-blind, randomized controlled trial, 100 patients undergoing primary THA under general anesthesia were randomly allocated to receive an ultrasound-guided SFIB + sham AQLB (SFIB group), or an ultrasound-guided AQLB + sham SFIB (AQLB group). Before wound suture, all patients received periarticular infiltration analgesia which the local anesthetic was injected into joint capsule, exposed gluteal and abductor muscles, peritrochanteric zone, and subcutaneous tissue under the incision as multiple sites. The primary outcome was postoperative morphine consumption within 24 hours after surgery. Secondary outcomes were the time to first rescue analgesia, postoperative pain assessed on the visual analog scale, postoperative quadriceps strength, the time to hospital discharge, and the incidence of postoperative complications. RESULTS There were no significant differences between the 2 groups concerning morphine consumption within 24 hours after surgery (P = .774), the time to first rescue analgesia (P = .890), the time to hospital discharge (P = .532), and the incidence of postoperative complications (P > .05). The visual analog scale pain scores at rest and during motion also were similar at all time points (P > .05). Significantly more patients in the SFIB group experienced quadriceps muscle weakness at 2 hours (P = .008) and 6 hours (P = .009) after surgery. CONCLUSION Under the circumstances of this study, when combined with periarticular infiltration analgesia, the SFIB provided similar pain relief compared with AQLB in patients undergoing THA, but was associated with muscle weakness within 6 hours after surgery.

Abstract
This study compared the effects of the pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block and supra-inguinal fascia iliaca compartment block (FICB) on postoperative analgesia and quadriceps strength following total hip arthroplasty under general anesthesia. A total of 58 patients were randomized to receive either PENG block (PENG group) or supra-inguinal FICB (FICB group) following anesthetic induction. The primary outcomes were the postoperative pain scores. Patients were randomized to receive either PENG block or supra-inguinal FICB following anesthetic induction. Pain scores at rest and with movement were assessed preoperatively, at the postanesthesia care unit (only at rest), and at 6, 24, 36, and 48 h postoperatively. Opioid consumption was also assessed for 48 h postoperatively. Quadriceps strength measurements were performed preoperatively, at 6, 24, and 36 h postoperatively. In total, 54 patients completed the study: 27 in the PENG group and 27 in the FICB group. Despite lower pain scores at rest in the PENG group at postoperative 6 and 24 h, there were no significant differences in the pain scores at rest and during movement between the two groups during postoperative 48 h in the linear mixed model analysis (p = 0.079 and p = 0.323, respectively). Cumulative opioid consumption up to postoperative 48 h was also similar in the two groups (p = 0.265). The changes in quadriceps strength measurements in the operative leg and the nonoperative leg were not significantly different between the groups (p = 0.513 and p = 0.523, respectively). The PENG block may have similar analgesic efficacy to the supra-inguinal FICB. No difference was detected in the quadriceps strength between the patients receiving these two blocks.

Abstract
Regional anesthesia is an integral component of successful orthopedic surgery. Neuraxial anesthesia is commonly used for surgical anesthesia while peripheral nerve blocks are often used for postoperative analgesia. Patient evaluation for regional anesthesia should include neurological, pulmonary, cardiovascular, and hematological assessments. Neuraxial blocks include spinal, epidural, and combined spinal epidural. Upper extremity peripheral nerve blocks include interscalene, supraclavicular, infraclavicular, and axillary. Lower extremity peripheral nerve blocks include femoral nerve block, saphenous nerve block, sciatic nerve block, iPACK block, ankle block and lumbar plexus block. The choice of regional anesthesia is a unanimous decision made by the surgeon, the anesthesiologist, and the patient based on a risk-benefit assessment. The choice of the regional block depends on patient cooperation, patient positing, operative structures, operative manipulation, tourniquet use and the impact of post-operative motor blockade on initiation of physical therapy. Regional anesthesia is safe but has an inherent risk of failure and a relatively low incidence of complications such as local anesthetic systemic toxicity (LAST), nerve injury, falls, hematoma, infection and allergic reactions. Ultrasound should be used for regional anesthesia procedures to improve the efficacy and minimize complications. LAST treatment guidelines and rescue medications (intralipid) should be readily available during the regional anesthesia administration.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim was to compare the feasibility of ultrasound-guided multiple nerve blocks (fascia iliaca compartment block+sacral plexus block+superior cluneal nerve block) with general anesthesia in geriatric hip fracture patients. METHODS Ninety-four patients were randomly divided into 2 groups: group N received ultrasound-guided multiple nerve blocks and group G received general anesthesia. Primary outcome measures included perioperative Pain Threshold Index (PTI) and Numerical Rating Scale. Secondary outcome measures comprised the following: (1) perioperative Delirium Index and Short Portable Mental Status Questionnaire; (2) perioperative Comfort Index; (3) perioperative opioid consumption (within 72 hours postoperatively); and (4) postoperative side effects (within 72 h postoperatively). RESULTS Eighty-seven patients completed the study. Baseline PTI was comparable between the groups. However, intraoperative PTI was significantly lower in group N than in group G. Preoperative and postoperative Comfort Index scores were comparable between the groups. Moderate delirium (24 to 72 h postoperatively) was significantly higher than the baseline in group G. Early moderate delirium (24 h postoperatively) was significantly higher in group G than in group N. Severe delirium was comparable between the groups and within each group. High intraoperative PTI was associated with high opioid consumption. The intravenous sufentanil dose in group G was twice of that in group N. Incidence of nausea and vomiting was similar between the groups. DISCUSSION Ultrasound-guided multiple nerve blockade may be an alternative to the common anesthetic procedures used for geriatric hip fracture patients. It provided satisfactory intraoperative pain management and reduced early postoperative cognitive disorders.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Various analgesic modalities have been used to improve postoperative pain in patients undergoing hip arthroscopy. PURPOSE To systematically review the literature to compare the efficacy of the fascia iliaca block (FIB) with that of other analgesic modalities after hip arthroscopy in terms of postoperative pain scores and analgesic consumption. STUDY DESIGN Systematic review. METHODS A systematic review was performed by searching PubMed, the Cochrane Library, and Embase up to April 2020 to identify randomized controlled trials that compared postoperative pain and analgesic consumption in patients after hip arthroscopy with FIB versus other pain control modalities. The search phrase used was "hip arthroscopy fascia iliaca randomized." Patients were evaluated based on postoperative pain scores and total postoperative analgesic consumption. RESULTS Five studies (3 level 1, 2 level 2) were identified that met inclusion criteria, including 157 patients undergoing hip arthroscopy with FIB (mean age, 38.3 years; 44.6% men) and 159 patients among the following comparison groups: lumbar plexus block (LPB), intra-articular ropivacaine (IAR), local anesthetic infiltration (LAI), saline placebo, and a no-block control group (overall mean age, 36.2 years; 36.5% men). No significant differences in pain scores were reported in the postanesthesia care unit (PACU) between the FIB and LPB (3.4 vs 2.9; P = .054), IAR (7.7 vs 7.9; P = .72), control group (no FIB: 4.1 vs 3.8; P = .76); or saline placebo (difference, -0.2 [95% CI, -1.1 to 0.7]). One study reported significantly higher pain scores at 1 hour postoperation in the FIB group compared with the LAI group (5.5 vs 3.4; P = .02). Another study reported significantly greater total analgesic consumption (in morphine equivalent dosing) in the PACU among the FIB group compared with the LPB group (20.8 vs 17.0; P = .02). No significant differences were observed in total PACU analgesic consumption between FIB and other analgesic modalities. CONCLUSION In patients undergoing hip arthroscopy, the FIB does not appear to demonstrate superiority to other forms of analgesics in the immediate postoperative period. Therefore, it is not recommended as a routine form of pain control for these procedures.

Local Reg Anesth 2021; 14:139-144.

Abstract
Introduction For surgical procedures involving the hip and femur, various regional anesthetic techniques may be used to provide analgesia. Although there has been an increase in the use of lumbar plexus block (LPB), the technique may be time consuming and associated with complications. Suprainguinal fascia iliaca compartment block (FICB) is a potentially easier and safer alternative. The current study prospectively compares LPB with suprainguinal FICB. Methods This prospective, double-blinded, randomized, study included patients undergoing elective orthopedic procedures of the hip and/or femur. All study patients received general anesthesia with randomization to either an LPB or suprainguinal FICB using 0.5% ropivacaine with epinephrine and dexamethasone. Postoperative pain control was achieved with intravenous hydromorphone delivered by patient-controlled analgesia with scheduled acetaminophen and ketorolac. Outcome data included time to perform the block, perioperative opioid consumption, postoperative pain scores (VAS) and hospital length of stay. Results The study cohort included 15 patients between the ages of 7 and 16 years (LPB N = 7, FICB N = 8). The median block time was 6 minutes (IQR: 4.11) for the LPB group and 3 minutes (IQR: 3.6) for the FICB group (p = 0.107). Median postoperative pain scores were 4 (IQR: 0.6) for the LPB group and 2 (IQR: 0.5) for the FICB group (p = 0.032). There were no differences in the intraoperative or postoperative opioid and NSAID use between the two groups. Discussion The suprainguinal FICB provides analgesia that is at least as effective as a LPB following hip and femur surgery. Time to perform the block was shorter with the FICB due to the supine patient position and limited needle trajectory. Although we noted no adverse effects, the superficial needle trajectory of the FICB offers a less invasive approach and the potential for decreased risks of adverse effects.

Abstract
A range of peripheral nerve blocks is available to treat hip fracture pain, leaving clinicians confused on choice. No single block appears to be outstanding. The article described the relevant anatomy, technical approach, risk associated, and practicability to facilitate a better understanding of the various approaches available. The clinician should be able to make an informed decision based on local requirements and logistics.

Comparison of supra-inguinal fascia iliaca versus pericapsular nerve block for ease of positioning during spinal anaesthesia: A randomised double-blinded trial. Indian J Anaesth 2021; 65:572-578. [PMID: 34584279 PMCID: PMC8445209 DOI: 10.4103/ija.ija_417_21] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/14/2021] [Revised: 08/09/2021] [Accepted: 08/10/2021] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Background and Aims Regional analgesic techniques such as supra-inguinal fascia-iliaca compartment block (S-FICB) and pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block have been found to be effective in providing good pain relief in hip-fracture patients. However, comparative studies between PENG and S-FICB are lacking. The aim of this study was to compare the analgesic efficacy of S-FICB and PENG block and assess their efficacy in optimal patient positioning for spinal anaesthesia. Methods A prospective randomised double-blind study was conducted in 66 patients randomly divided to receive either S-FICB or PENG block under ultrasound guidance. Primary outcome measures were numerical rating scale (NRS) pain score at rest and on passive 15° limb lifting, 30 minutes after the block and ease of spinal positioning. The secondary outcome measures were NRS over 24 hours, amount of tramadol used (number of rescue doses), patients' satisfaction and block-related complications. The results were analysed using statistical software (MedCalc version 19.2.1). Continuous and categorical data were analysed using appropriate statistical analysis and P < 0.05 was considered significant. Results Post-block, the NRS score decreased significantly in PENG and S-FICB groups at rest and movement (P < 0.0001). The EOSP score was significantly better in PENG group (P < 0.0001). First analgesic request and pain relief in the first 24-hour period were similar between the groups (P = 0.524). Conclusion PENG block provided better pain relief and ease of positing during SA in patients with fractured hip scheduled for hip surgery.

Abstract
Background and objective Pain control is one of the major concerns after major hip surgeries. Suprainguinal fascia iliaca compartment block (S-FICB) is an alternative analgesic technique that can be considered as an effective and less invasive method than epidural analgesia (EA). In this retrospective study, we compared postoperative analgesic efficacy of single shot ultrasound guided S-FICB and EA after major hip surgery. Methods We retrospectively examined 150 patients who underwent major hip surgeries and who received S-FICB or EA. Seventy-two patients submitted to EA and 78 patients who received S-FICB were included and their medical records retrospectively reviewed. Morphine consumptions, VAS scores, and side effects were recorded. Patients under antiplatelet or anticoagulant theraphy were also registered. Morphine consumption and VAS scores were the primary endpoints, succes rate and complications were the secondary endpoints of our study. P-values less than 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results Morphine consumption was lower at the emergence in the EA group but there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups according to total opioid consumption (0 [0-0] vs 0 [0-0]; p = 0.52). There was no difference between VAS scores in the first 18 hours. Hypotension was significantly higher in the EA group (9 vs 21; p = 0.04). Conclusion In conclusion, S-FICB can provide comparable analgesia with EA in the early postoperative period after hip surgery but VAS scores were found lower in the EA group than S-FICB group after 18th hour. Hypotension has occured more frequently in patients receiving EA.

Abstract
Fascial plane blocks (FPBs) are increasingly numerous and are often touted as effective solutions to many perioperative challenges facing anesthesiologists. As 'new' FPBs are being described, questions regarding their effectiveness remain unanswered as appropriate studies are lacking and publications are often limited to case discussions or technical reports. It is often unclear if newly named FPBs truly represent a novel intervention with new indications, or if these new publications describe mere ultrasound facilitated modifications of existing techniques. Here, we present broad concepts and potential mechanisms of FPB. In addition, we discuss major FPBs of (1) the extremities (2) the posterior torso and (3) the anterior torso. The characteristics, indications and a brief summary of the literature on these blocks is included. Finally, we provide an estimate of the overall level of evidence currently supporting individual approaches as FPBs continue to rapidly evolve.

Abstract
Background Patients often suffer moderate or even severe pain after total hip arthroplasty; such pain seriously affects early postoperative recovery. This study aimed to investigate the analgesic efficacy of ultrasound-guided transmuscular quadratus lumborum block combined with fascia iliaca compartment block for elderly patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty. Methods Fifty-four patients scheduled for total hip arthroplasty were included in this randomized controlled study. The patients were randomly assigned to receive only transmuscular quadratus lumborum block (group Q) or transmuscular quadratus lumborum block combined with fascia iliaca compartment block (group QF) with ultrasound guidance. Postoperatively in both groups, paracetamol 1 g was regularly administered at 6 h intervals and patient-controlled intravenous analgesia was administered. The primary outcome was cumulative sufentanil consumption via patient-controlled intravenous analgesia 24 h postoperatively. The secondary outcomes included pain degree, time to the first analgesic requirement, joint range of motion, quality of recovery, and the incidence of postoperative complications. Results Fifty patients were included, and their data were analyzed. The cumulative sufentanil consumption in group QF was significantly lower during the first 24 h after surgery than that in group Q, and the cumulative sufentanil consumption in group QF was reduced at 6–12 and 12–18 h after surgery. The postoperative pain intensity was lower in group QF than in group Q (linear mixed-effects model, the main effect of treatment: P < 0.001). Compared with group Q, group QF had higher quality of recovery and joint range of movement. The time to the first analgesic requirement was longer in group QF than in group Q (log-rank, P < 0.001). There was no statistically significant difference in complications postoperatively between the two groups. Conclusions Our study provides a multimodal, opioid-sparing analgesic regimen for elderly patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty. The combination of transmuscular quadratus lumborum block and fascia iliaca compartment block provides a significant advantage for early postoperative functional recovery. Further studies are required to confirm the minimum effective dose. Trial registration The study was registered on the 21st December 2020 (retrospectively registered) on the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry: ChiCTR2000038686.

Ultrasound-guided, direct suprainguinal injection for fascia iliaca block for total hip arthroplasty: A retrospective study. World J Clin Cases 2021; 9:3567-3575. [PMID: 34046456 PMCID: PMC8130076 DOI: 10.12998/wjcc.v9.i15.3567] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2020] [Revised: 01/31/2021] [Accepted: 03/11/2021] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Peripheral regional block combined with general anesthesia might be a preferable anesthetic regimen for elderly patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty.
AIM To investigate whether ultrasound-guided, direct suprainguinal injection for fascia iliaca block accelerated recovery after general anesthesia and relieved postoperative pain after total hip arthroplasty.
METHODS Patients who underwent total hip arthroplasty under general anesthesia in 2015 or 2019 at The Second Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were grouped based on whether preoperative suprainguinal fascia iliaca block was performed or not. The time to tracheal extubation and time spent in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU), intraoperative remifentanil dosage, fentanyl consumption in the PACU, postoperative cumulative fentanyl consumption within 48 h after operation, visual analogue scale at rest and during movement on the first and second days after surgery, and adverse reactions were compared.
RESULTS Thirty-one elderly patients who underwent total hip arthroplasty were included in the study (block group, n = 16; no-block group, n = 15). The visual analog scale scores at rest and during movement on the first and second days were significantly lower in the block group than in the no-block group (all P < 0.05). Compared with the no-block group, the intraoperative remifentanil dosage was lower, the time to tracheal extubation and the time spent in the PACU were shorter in the block group (all P < 0.01). Fentanyl consumption in the PACU and postoperative cumulative fentanyl consumption in 48 h after operation were lower in the block group (all P < 0.01). The incidence of dizziness was higher in the no-block group than in the block group (P = 0.037).
CONCLUSION Ultrasound-guided, direct suprainguinal injection for fascia iliaca block led to faster recovery after general anesthesia and early postoperative pain relief in elderly patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty.

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2021; 18:ijerph18094891. [PMID: 34064427 PMCID: PMC8124308 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph18094891] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2021] [Revised: 04/28/2021] [Accepted: 04/29/2021] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
Objective: An assessment of the feasibility of fascia iliaca compartment block (FICB) combined with nonopioid analgesics and patient controlled analgesia (PCA), oxycodone, in the perioperative anaesthetic management for elective total hip replacement (THR). Design: A randomised, single-center, open-label study. Setting: A single hospital. The study was conducted from October 2018 to May 2019. Participants: In total, 109 patients were scheduled for elective total hip replacement. Interventions: Postoperative FICB with 0.375% ropivacaine in conjunction with nonopioid analgesics (paracetamol, metamizole, and pregabalin) and oxycodone as rescue analgesia. Measurements: Pain intensity was measured using the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NRS) at rest and during rehabilitation, the total dose of postoperative oxycodone required, the occurrence of opioid-related adverse events, patient hospitalisation time, and level of satisfaction. Follow-up period: 48 h. Main Results: A total of 109 patients were randomised into two groups and, of these, 9 were subsequently excluded from the analysis (three conversions to general anaesthesia, two failures to perform FICB, four failures to use the PCA pump). Patients in the FICB group received standard intravenous analgesia with FICB, and those in the control group were managed with standard intravenous analgesia only. Pain level measured with NRS was significantly lower at rest and during rehabilitation in the FICB group. Oxycodone use in the first 48 h was significantly higher in the control group (p < 0.001); additionally, the time to the first dose of rescue analgesia was significantly shorter (p < 0.001). In the control group, there was a higher rate of side effects and a significantly longer hospitalisation time (p < 0.001). Similarly, higher satisfaction with the applied analgesic treatment was noted in the FICB group. Conclusions: FICB in elective THR treatments is an effective form of analgesia, which reduces the need for opioids, the number of complications, the length of hospitalisation, and which ensures a high level of patient satisfaction with the analgesic treatment used. Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov No. NCT04690647.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This cadaveric dose-finding study investigated the minimum effective volume of dye in 90% of cases (MEV90), required to stain the femoral, lateral femoral cutaneous and obturator nerves for ultrasound-guided suprainguinal fascia iliaca block (SIFIB). METHODS In cadaveric specimens of the lower limb, the block needle was advanced, medial to the anterosuperior iliac spine, until its tip was positioned between the internal oblique and iliacus muscles underneath the fascia iliaca. The dye was injected inside the fascia iliaca compartment. Volume assignment was carried out using a biased coin design, whereby the volume of dye administered to each cadaveric specimen depended on the response of the previous one. In case of failure, the next one received a higher volume (defined as the previous volume with an increment of 2.5 mL). If the previous cadaveric specimen had a successful block, the next one was randomized to a lower volume (defined as the previous volume with a decrement of 2.5 mL), with a probability of b=0.11, or the same volume, with a probability of 1-b=0.89. Success was defined as the staining of the femoral, lateral femoral cutaneous, and obturator nerves on dissection. RESULTS Thirty-six cadavers (60 cadaveric specimens) were included in the study. Using isotonic regression and bootstrap CI, the MEV90 for ultrasound-guided SIFIB was estimated to be 62.5 mL (95% CI 60 to 65). CONCLUSION For ultrasound-guided SIFIB, the MEV90 of dye required to stain the femoral, lateral femoral cutaneous and obturator nerves is 62.5 mL. Further studies are required to correlate this finding with the MEV90 of local anesthetic in human subjects.

Abstract
This report reviews the topographical and functional anatomy relevant for assessing whether or not the obturator nerve (ON) can be anesthetized using a fascia iliaca compartment (FIC) block. The ON does not cross the FIC. This means that the ON would only be blocked by an FIC block if the injectate spreads to the ON outside of the FIC. Such a phenomena would require the creation of one or more artificial passageways to the ON in the retro-psoas compartment or the retroperitoneal compartment by disrupting the normal anatomical integrity of the FI. Due to this requirement for an artificial pathway, an FIC block probably does not block the ON.

JA Clin Rep 2021; 7:31. [PMID: 33821381 PMCID: PMC8021655 DOI: 10.1186/s40981-021-00435-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2021] [Revised: 03/25/2021] [Accepted: 03/30/2021] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE Ultrasound-guided supra-inguinal fascia iliaca block (SFIB) is widely used as regional anesthesia of the hip and thigh. It is difficult to judge the blocking effect and the spreading local anesthesia. We hypothesize that the effect and spread of the block could be proven objectively by a rise in the temperature. In this prospective observational study, the broad regional rise in skin temperature of twenty patients who were scheduled for hip surgery was measured using an infrared thermographic camera at multiple intervals following ultrasound-guided SFIB. METHODS Infrared thermographic imaging of skin temperature at the femoral, obturator, and lateral femoral cutaneous nerve sites was performed before and at 5-min intervals after ultrasound-guided SFIB for up to 15-min post-injection. The primary outcomes are skin surface temperature. Sensory block was assessed immediately after the final infrared thermographic image acquisition using the cold test. RESULTS Compared to pre-injection baseline, temperature increased by 1.2 °C [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.4-2.0 °C] after 5 min, 1.2 °C (95% CI 0.4-2.0 °C) after 10 min, and 0.9 °C (95% CI 0.4-2.1°C) after 15 min. The cold test response was reduced in all cases at the femoral and lateral femoral cutaneous nerve sites and in 13 cases at the obturator nerve site. The sensitivity and specificity of the temperature increase to cold loss were 96% and 63%, respectively when we defined >0°C as the clinical threshold. CONCLUSIONS Successful SFIB significantly enhanced skin temperature at the hip and thigh in all cases, suggesting that infrared surface thermography can be used as an objective assessment tool for adequate analgesia.

The Application of Fascia Iliaca Compartment Block for Acute Pain Control of Hip Fracture and Surgery. Curr Pain Headache Rep 2021; 25:22.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Over 300,000 patients are hospitalized annually following hip fractures in the USA. Many patients experienced inadequate analgesia. We will review the perioperative effects of the fascia iliaca compartment block (FICB) in hip fracture patients. RECENT FINDINGS FICB by injecting local anesthetics beneath the fascia iliaca results in significant pain relief in hip fractures. Neuropathies and vascular injuries are almost unlikely. Single-shot FICB is faster to place, yet providing about 8 h of analgesia when bupivacaine is used. Continuous FICB provides prolonged titratable analgesia, improved patient satisfaction, and leads to faster hospital discharge. FICB reduces opioid consumption, decreases morbidity and mortality, reduces hospital stay, reduces delirium, and improves satisfaction. FICB should form part of a multimodal analgesic regime, in the context of a multidisciplinary approach to the management of hip fracture patients. More clinical investigations are needed to validate the long-term outcome benefits of FICB in hip fracture patients.

BMC Anesthesiol 2021; 21:75. [PMID: 33691623 PMCID: PMC7944595 DOI: 10.1186/s12871-021-01296-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/19/2020] [Accepted: 03/03/2021] [Indexed: 12/03/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Fascia iliaca compartment block (FICB) is an anterior approach to the lumbar plexus block and provides the effective adjunctive analgesia for total hip arthroplasty (THA). Methods As a case series study, 28 patients (≥ 65 years old) with THA were received a modified in-plane ultrasound-guided supra-inguinal (S-FICB) as an analgesic adjunct to evaluate the analgesic effectiveness and the local anesthetic diffusion with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A combination of propofol and sufentanil was administered to conduct target-controlled infusion. Results The pain scores were 1 (0–4), 2 (1–5), 3 (1–6) and 3 (1–6) at 4, 8, 12, and 24 h. The cumulative opioids were 8 (8–12), 18 (16–32), 28 (24–54) and 66 (48–104) mg of i.v. morphine equivalents at 4, 8, 12, and 24 h. The patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) times were 0 (0–1), 1 (0–2), 2 (0–5) and 5 (3–8) at 4, 8, 12, and 24 h. In lateral, anterior and medial part of thigh, the sensory blockade in 28 patients was 23 (82 %), 21 (75 %) and 19 (68 %) at 5 min; 28 (100 %) at 10 and 20 min. Motor blockade of femoral nerve (FN) and obturator nerve (ON) was present in 13 (46 %) and 3 (11 %) patients at 5 min, 24 (86 %) and 9 (32 %) at 10 min, 26 (93 %) and 11 (39 %) at 20 min. Injectate permeated to the FN and extended superiorly over the surface of iliac muscle (IM) and pectineus muscle (PM) in all patients. Conclusions The modified S-FICB has provided an effective postoperative analgesic adjunct after THA with the satisfactory blockade of femoral (FN), obturator (ON) and sciatic (SN) nerves, especially for ON, when compared with the existing techniques.
