World J Psychiatry 2024; 14:838-847. [PMID: 38984342 PMCID: PMC11230083 DOI: 10.5498/wjp.v14.i6.838] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2024] [Revised: 04/23/2024] [Accepted: 05/06/2024] [Indexed: 06/19/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Older adults are at high risk of femoral neck fractures (FNFs). Elderly patients face and adapt to significant psychological burdens, resulting in different degrees of psychological stress response. Total hip replacement is the preferred treatment for FNF in elderly patients; however, some patients have poor postoperative prognoses, and the underlying mechanism is unknown. We speculated that the postoperative prognosis of elderly patients with FNF may be related to preoperative psychological stress. AIM To explore the relationship between preoperative psychological stress and the short-term prognosis of elderly patients with FNF. METHODS In this retrospective analysis, the baseline data, preoperative 90-item Symptom Checklist score, and Harris score within 6 months of surgery of 120 elderly patients with FNF who underwent total hip arthroplasty were collected. We analyzed the indicators of poor short-term postoperative prognosis and the ability of the indicators to predict poor prognosis and compared the correlation between the indicators and the Harris score. RESULTS Anxiety, depression, garden classification of FNF, cause of fracture, FNF reduction quality, and length of hospital stay were independent influencing factors for poor short-term postoperative prognoses in elderly patients with FNF (P < 0.05). The areas under the curve for anxiety, depression, and length of hospital stay were 0.742, 0.854, and 0.749, respectively. The sensitivities of anxiety, depression, garden classification of FNF, and prediction of the cause of fracture were 0.857, 0.786, 0.821, and 0.821, respectively. The specificities of depression, FNF quality reduction, and length of hospital stay were the highest at 0.880, 0.783, and 0.761, respectively. Anxiety, depression, and somatization scores correlated moderately with Harris scores (r = -0.523, -0.625, and -0.554; all P < 0.001). CONCLUSION Preoperative anxiety, depression, and somatization are correlated with poor short-term prognosis in elderly patients with FNF and warrant consideration.

Abstract
Hip fracture is a very frequent clinical situation in the elderly and frail patient. The Pericapsular Nerve Group (PENG) has emerged as a highly selective block for the intracapsular hip fractures. We describe 44 patients with intracapsular hip fractures who underwent a PENG block in addition to spinal anaesthesia with. The main objective was to assess post-surgical pain control at the recovery room and after 24 h. Also, we considered the need for first of second analgesic rescue during the first 24 h after surgery. Only 10 patients presented mild pain at the recovery room. Up to 30 of them had pain after 24 h. However, 25 of these patients reported having mild pain. Only 9 patients required analgesic rescue for postoperative pain control. In conclusion, PENG block is a locoregional technique that allows good postoperative pain control and low opioid consumption during the postoperative period of intracapsular hip fractures.

Abstract
Objective To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block for hip fracture surgery under spinal anesthesia. Methods This meta-analysis was registered on INPLASY (INPLASY202270005). PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, CNKI, and Wanfang databases were searched to collect the randomized controlled trials of the PENG block applied to hip fracture surgery in the setting of spinal anesthesia, with the search period from inception to 1 May 2023. Two independent researchers gradually screened the literature, evaluated the quality, extracted the data, and eventually pooled data using RevMan 5.4. Results Fifteen articles with 890 patients were enrolled. The combined results showed that the PENG block reduced pain scores during position placement (SMD = -0.35; 95% CI [-0.67, 0.02]; P=0.04; I2 = 0%). Subgroup analyses showed that compared to the unblocked group, the PENG block reduced pain scores at 12 h, 24 h, and 48 h postoperatively. The incidence of postoperative hypokinesia was reduced (RR = 0.11; 95% CI [0.01, 0.86]; P=0.04; I2 = 0.00%). The time to first walking was advanced (SMD = -0.90; 95% CI [-1.17, 0.63]; P < 0.00001; I2 = 0%). Conclusion The PENG block can reduce postoperative pain and pain during spinal anesthesia positioning, which is helpful to improve the operability and comfort of spinal anesthesia and facilitate postoperative muscle strength recovery and early activity.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Ensuring effective perioperative pain control is a crucial aspect of rehabilitation programs following total hip arthroplasty. This study presents a comprehensive meta-analysis and systematic review to assess the efficacy and safety of pericapsular nerve group block (PENG) in the context of total hip arthroplasty. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION A systematic search was conducted in multiple databases, including PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science, to identify relevant randomized controlled studies investigating the efficacy and safety of PENG for total hip arthroplasty. The search was conducted up until 1st June 2023. Data analysis was performed using Stata v. 15.0. EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS A total of 721 individuals participated in this study, which included 13 randomized controlled trials. Among them, 377 individuals were assigned to the experimental group, while 344 individuals were assigned to the control group. The findings from the meta-analysis indicated that the application of PENG yielded favorable outcomes in terms of reducing six-hour pain scores (SMD=-0.63, 95% CI -1.18, -0.09) and 24-hour pain scores (SMD=-1.45, 95% CI -2.51, -0.29). Moreover, it was found to decrease opioid consumption (SMD=-0.84, 95% CI -1.35, -0.34), without causing a significant increase in nausea and vomiting (RR=0.75, 95% CI 0.45, 1.23) or urinary retention (RR=2.46, 95% CI 0.49, 12.31). CONCLUSIONS Based on the latest findings, PENG has been shown to effectively decrease pain scores within six and 24 hours following total hip arthroplasty. However, its effectiveness in pain control diminishes after 48 hours. Additionally, PENG has demonstrated the ability to reduce opioid consumption without an accompanying increase in adverse drug events.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Hip fractures cause severe pain during positioning for spinal anesthesia (SA). Intravenous systemic analgesics can lead to various complications in elderly patients, hence peripheral nerve blocks are emerging as a standard of care in pain management for hip fractures, among which femoral nerve block (FNB) is widely known and practiced. Pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block is a recently described technique that blocks the articular nerves of the hip with motor-sparing effects and is used to manage positional pain in hip fractures. This study aims to evaluate the analgesic efficacy of PENG block over FNB in managing pain during positioning before SA in hip fractures. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a prospective, randomized, double-blinded study. After ethical clearance, 70 patients undergoing hip fracture surgery under SA in a tertiary-care hospital were recruited and randomized to receive either ultrasound-guided PENG block or FNB with 20 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine before performing SA. We compared pain severity using the visual analog scale (VAS) 15 and 30 minutes after the block and during positioning. The sitting angle, requirement of rescue analgesia for positioning, and anesthesiologist and patient satisfaction scores were also analyzed. Continuous data were analyzed with an unpaired t-test while the chi-square test was used for categorical data. RESULTS There was a significant reduction in VAS scores after PENG block (PENG: 0.66 ± 1.05 and FNB: 1.94 ± 1.90; p = 0.001) with lesser requirement of rescue analgesia for positioning compared to FNB. The anesthesiologist and patient satisfaction scores were also significantly better in the PENG group. CONCLUSION PENG block offers better analgesia for positioning before SA than FNB without any significant side effects, and improves patient and anesthesiologist satisfaction, thus proving to be an effective analgesic alternative for painful hip fractures.

Comparative effectiveness of pericapsular nerve group block versus fascia iliac compartment block on postoperative wound pain management in patients undergoing hip fracture surgery: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Int Wound J 2024; 21:e14637. [PMID: 38332471 PMCID: PMC10853491 DOI: 10.1111/iwj.14637] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/25/2023] [Revised: 12/17/2023] [Accepted: 12/17/2023] [Indexed: 02/10/2024] Open
Abstract
Hip fracture surgeries are challenging, with postoperative pain management being a critical component of patient care. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to compare the effectiveness of Pericapsular nerve group block (PENGB) and fascia iliac compartment block (FICB) in postoperative wound pain management for patients undergoing hip fracture surgery. The study followed the PRISMA guidelines and was structured around the PICO framework. Comprehensive searches were conducted across PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library. Inclusion criteria were limited to RCTs comparing the effectiveness of PENGB and FICB in adult patients undergoing hip fracture surgery. Key outcomes included pain control effectiveness, safety, and complication incidence. The quality of studies was assessed using the Cochrane Collaboration's risk of bias tool. Statistical heterogeneity was evaluated using I2 statistics, and meta-analysis effect values were calculated using random-effects or fixed-effect models, depending on the degree of heterogeneity. The search identified 1095 articles, with 5 studies meeting inclusion criteria. The meta-analysis revealed that PENGB and FICB were comparable in managing postoperative pain and opioid consumption. However, PENGB significantly reduced the incidence of quadriceps muscle weakness (RR = 0.12, p < 0.05) and did not increase the risk of PONV (RR = 1.36, p = 0.51), suggesting its advantage in maintaining motor function without adding to PONV complications. No significant publication bias was detected. PENGB is comparable to FICB in pain and opioid consumption management after hip fracture surgeries. Its significant benefit lies in reducing the incidence of quadriceps muscle weakness, facilitating better postoperative mobility. Additionally, PENGB does not increase the risk of postoperative nausea and vomiting, underlining its suitability for comprehensive postoperative care in hip fracture patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to compare the analgesic efficacy of the femoral nerve block (FNB) with that of the pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block in the lateral decubitus position for spinal anesthesia in geriatric hip fracture surgery. METHODS Patients aged ≥65 years scheduled to undergo hip fracture surgery for proximal femur fractures with an American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status of class I-IV and body mass index of 18-40 kg/m2 were included in the study. The PENG block or FNB was performed 20 min before positioning for spinal anesthesia. Lateral position, hip flexion, and lumbar spine flexion pain were evaluated during spinal anesthesia. RESULTS Sixty patients completed the study. The median pain scores for lateral positioning were 2 (0-4) and 2.5 in the PENG and FNB groups, respectively (P=0.001). The median pain scores during hip flexion were 1 (0-4) and 2.5 in the PENG and FNB groups, respectively (P<0.001). The median pain score during lumbar flexion was 1 (0-4) and 2.0 in the PENG and FNB groups, respectively (P=0.001). The two groups did not show a significant difference in the quality of the spinal anesthesia position (P>0.05). CONCLUSION Pre-operative PENG block is more effective in reducing the pain associated with spinal anesthesia position than FNB in geriatric hip fractures. Both blocks had a similar effect on posture quality and the number of spinal interventions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of ultrasound-guided PENG (pericapsular nerve group) block and drug therapy with intravenous flurbiprofen for early analgesia in elderly patients with hip fractures after hospitalization. METHODS This is a single-center, observer-blinded, prospective, randomized, controlled trial. A total of 41 elderly patients (aged 60 or older) with hip fractures were enrolled in the current study. Patients were randomly assigned to two groups: Group P (ultrasound-guided PENG block, 20 mL of 0.375% ropivacaine) and Group F (intravenous flurbiprofen 50 mg). The primary outcome measure was the dynamic (passive straight leg raising 15°) NRS (numerical rating scale 0 to 10) pain scores at different time points. The secondary outcomes were the static NRS scores at different time points, the number of rescue analgesia sessions, patient satisfaction, and the incidence of complications. RESULTS Patients in the two groups had comparable baseline characteristics. The group P had lower dynamic and static NRS scores at 15 min, 30 min, 6 h, and 12 h after intervention (P<0.05) than the group F. The highest NRS pain scores in the group P were still lower than the NRS scores in the group F at 30 min-12 h (Group F: 5.57±1.54 vs. Group P: 3.00±1.12, P<0.001), and there was no significant difference between the two groups at 12-24 h (Group F: 6.35±1.79 vs. Group P: 5.90±1.83, P>0.05). The group P had higher satisfaction scores (Group P: 9 (9,9) vs. Group F: 8 (7,8), P<0.001). There was no statistically significant difference in the number of rescue analgesics at 0-12 h or 12-24 h or the incidence of complications between the groups. CONCLUSIONS Compared with intravenous flurbiprofen, ultrasound-guided PENG block provides better early analgesic effects in elderly patients with hip fractures, and a PENG block is safe for elderly patients with hip fractures after hospitalization. Trial registration This study was registered in the Chinese Clinical Trial Testing Center (ID: ChiCTR2200062400).

Indian J Anaesth 2023; 67:962-972. [PMID: 38213682 PMCID: PMC10779973 DOI: 10.4103/ija.ija_672_23] [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: 07/13/2023] [Revised: 08/22/2023] [Accepted: 09/08/2023] [Indexed: 01/13/2024] Open
Abstract
Background and Aims Postoperative pain for patients having hip arthroplasty ranges from moderate to severe. Many regional anaesthesia procedures treat postoperative pain to improve functional ability and quality of life. Evidence comparing the analgesic effects of the pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block and fascia iliaca compartment block (FICB) remains unclear. The analgesic efficacies of PENG and FICB in hip arthroplasty were compared to determine which technique is associated with superior analgesia. Methods The electronic databases (PubMed, Cochrane Library, Google Scholar and Web of Sciences) were searched for published randomised controlled trials (RCTs) till 5 April 2023 comparing PENG block vs. FICB following hip arthroplasty. The primary outcome was pain scores [numerical rating scale (NRS) or visual analogue scale (VAS)] between 0 and 10 at rest and during movement at 24 h. Secondary outcomes included pain scores at rest and during movement within 30 min, at 6 h and 12 h, time to first rescue analgesia and cumulative postoperative opioid use in 24 h. We assessed the risk of bias using the Cochrane Collaboration Risk-of-Bias 2 tool. Using Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE), the certainty of the evidence was assessed. Subgroup analysis was performed to explore the source of heterogeneity. Results We included 12 RCTs examining 644 patients. Pain scores at rest at 24 h (standardised mean differences (SMDs): 0.17; 95% confidence interval (CI): -0.90 to 1.23; P = 0.76, moderate certainty) and during movement at 24 h (SMD: -0.58, 95% CI: -1.53 to 0.38, P = 0.24, moderate certainty) were not different in both PENG block and FICB. Pain scores at rest and during movement within 30 min may be lower with PENG block than FICB. However, the pain score at rest and during movement at 6 h and the time to first rescue analgesia were not different between the two treatment arms. The mean opioid consumption in oral morphine equivalents (mg) in 24 h may be lower with PENG than FICB. Conclusion We observed no difference between the PENG block and the FICB at 24 h for pain at rest and movement with a moderate degree of certainty. However, PENG block showed improved analgesia within 30 min at rest and during movement, and reduce postoperative opioid consumption in 24 h with moderate certainty of evidence. Further large-scale and high-quality RCTs are required to supplement the present findings.

Andrade PP, Lombardi RA, Marques IR, Braga ACDNAE, Isaias BRS, Heiser NE. Pericapsular Nerve Group (PENG) block versus fascia iliaca compartment (FI) block for hip surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. BRAZILIAN JOURNAL OF ANESTHESIOLOGY (ELSEVIER) 2023; 73:794-809. [PMID: 37507071 PMCID: PMC10625158 DOI: 10.1016/j.bjane.2023.07.007] [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: 11/22/2022] [Revised: 07/10/2023] [Accepted: 07/16/2023] [Indexed: 07/30/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND This study compares Fascia Iliaca compartment (FI) block and Pericapsular Nerve Group (PENG) block for hip surgery. METHODS Pubmed, Embase and Cochrane were systematically searched in April 2022. Inclusion criteria were: Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs); comparing PENG block versus FI block for hip surgery; patients over 18 years of age; and reporting outcomes immediately postoperative. We excluded studies with overlapped populations and without a head-to-head comparison of the PENG block vs. FI block. Mean-Difference (MD) with 95% Confidence Intervals (CI) were pooled. Trial Sequential Analyses (TSA) were performed to assess inconsistency. Quality assessment and risk of bias were performed according to Cochrane recommendations. RESULTS Eight RCTs comprising 384 patients were included, of whom 196 (51%) underwent PENG block. After hip surgery, PENG block reduced static pain score at 12h post-surgery (MD = 0.61 mm; 95% CI 1.12 to -0.09; p = 0.02) and cumulative postoperative oral morphine consumption in the first 24h (MD = -6.93 mg; 95% CI -13.60 to -0.25; p = 0.04) compared with the FI group. However, no differences were found between the two techniques regarding dynamic and static pain scores at 6 h or 24 h post-surgery, or in the time to the first analgesic rescue after surgery. CONCLUSION The findings suggest that PENG block reduced opioid consumption in the first 24 h after surgery and reduced pain scores at rest at 12 h post-surgery. Further research is needed to fully understand the effects of the PENG block and its potential benefits compared to FI block.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The immediate postoperative period after total hip arthroplasty can be associated with significant pain. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of pericapsular nerve block on pain management and functional recovery after total hip arthroplasty. METHODS This prospective, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial was conducted on 489 adult patients scheduled for total hip arthroplasty, ASA 1-2, operated under spinal analgesia. Participants were assigned to receive either a pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block with 20 mL of 0.5% ropivacaine or a sham block. RESULTS The primary outcome measure was the postoperative NRS score in motion. The secondary outcomes were cumulative opioid consumption, the time to the first opioid, and functional recovery. Demographic characteristics were similar in both groups. Intraoperative pain scores were significantly lower in patients who received the PENG block than in the control group (p < 0.0001). Also, the time to the first opioid was considerably longer in the PENG group (p < 0.0001). Additionally, 24% of PENG patients did not require opioids (p < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS The pericapsular nerve group showed significantly decreased opioid consumption and improved functional recovery. Pericapsular nerve group block improved pain management and postoperative functional recovery following total hip arthroplasty.

BMC Anesthesiol 2023; 23:233. [PMID: 37434138 DOI: 10.1186/s12871-023-02190-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2023] [Accepted: 06/26/2023] [Indexed: 07/13/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND This investigation aimed to evaluate the impact of continuous pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block and continuous fascia iliac compartment block (FICB) on postoperative pain following total hip arthroplasty (THA). METHODS This prospective, randomized, and controlled trial recruited a cohort of fifty-seven patients with unilateral femoral neck fractures from Xi'an Aerospace General Hospital in northwest China between July 2020 and November 2021. These patients were randomly assigned to two groups: the continuous PENG block group (PENG group, n = 29) and the continuous FICB group (FICB group, n = 28). Under ultrasound guidance, PENG block and FICB procedures were performed prior to spinal anesthesia, utilizing 20 ml of 0.25% ropivacaine for PENG block and 30 ml of 0.25% ropivacaine for FICB. Subsequently, a catheter was inserted. All study participants received a standardized postoperative multimodal analgesic regimen, including intravenous administration of 30 mg Ketorolac tromethamine every eight hours and patient-controlled neural analgesia (PCNA) after surgery. Numerical rating scale (NRS) scores at rest and during exercise were recorded at various time points: prior to block (T0), 30 min post-blockade (T1), and 6 h (T2), 12 h (T3), 24 h (T4), and 48 h (T5) postoperatively. Additional data collected encompassed postoperative quadriceps muscle strength, the time of initial ambulation after surgery, the number of effective PCNA activations, rescue analgesia requirements, and occurrences of adverse events (such as nausea and vomiting, hematoma, infection, catheter detachment, or displacement) within 48 h following surgery. RESULTS In the PENG group, the resting NRS pain scores exhibited lower values at T1, T4, and T5 than those at T0. Furthermore, exercise NRS pain scores at T1-T5 were lower in the PENG group than in the FICB group. Similarly, during the same postoperative period, the PENG group demonstrated enhanced quadriceps strength on the affected side compared to the FICB group. Additionally, the PENG group displayed earlier postoperative ambulation and reduced occurrences of effective PCNA activations and rescue analgesia requirements compared to the FICB group. CONCLUSION Continuous PENG block exhibited superior analgesic efficacy after THA compared to continuous FICB, promoting recovery of quadriceps strength on the affected side and facilitating early postoperative ambulation. TRIAL REGISTRATION This clinical trial was registered in the China Clinical Trials Center ( http://www.chictr.org.cn ) on 20/07/2020, with the registration number ChiCTR2000034821.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to conduct a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) for comparison of the effectiveness of pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block with that of other analgesic techniques for reduction of postoperative pain and consumption of opioids after total hip arthroplasty (THA). A search of records in the PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library, and ClinicalTrials.gov databases was conducted in order to identify studies comparing the effect of the PENG block with that of other analgesics on reduction of postoperative pain and consumption of opioids after THA. Determination of eligibility was based on the PICOS (participants, intervention, comparator, outcomes, and study design) criteria as follows: (1) Participants: patients who underwent THA. (2) Intervention: patients who received a PENG block for management of postoperative pain. (3) Comparator: patients who received other analgesics. (4) Outcomes: numerical rating scale (NRS) score and opioid consumption during different periods. (5) Study design: clinical RCTs. Five RCTs were finally included in the current meta-analysis. Significantly lower postoperative opioid consumption at 24 hours after THA was observed in the group of patients who received the PENG block compared with the control group (standard mean difference=-0.36, 95% confidence interval -0.64 to -0.08). However, no significant reduction in NRS score at 12, 24, and 48 hours after surgery and opioid consumption at 48 hours after THA was observed. The PENG block showed better results for opioid consumption at 24 hours after THA compared with other analgesics.

Abstract
Objective The review aimed to compare outcomes of pericapsular nerve group block (PENG) vs. fascia iliaca compartment block (FICB) for patients undergoing hip surgeries. Methods Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published in the databases of PubMed, CENTRAL, Embase, and Web of Science comparing PENG vs. FICB for pain control after hip surgeries were included in the review. Results Six RCTs were included. 133 patients received PENG block and were compared with 125 patients receiving FICB. Our analysis showed no difference in 6 h (MD: -0.19 95% CI: -1.18, 0.79 I 2 = 97% p = 0.70), 12 h (MD: 0.04 95% CI: -0.44, 0.52 I 2 = 72% p = 0.88) and 24 h (MD: 0.09 95% CI: -1.03, 1.21 I 2 = 97% p = 0.87) pain scores between PENG and FICB groups. Pooled analysis showed that mean opioid consumption in morphine equivalents was significantly less with PENG as compared to FICB (MD: -8.63 95% CI: -14.45, -2.82 I 2 = 84% p = 0.004). Meta-analysis of three RCTs showed no variation in the risk of postoperative nausea and vomiting in the two groups. The quality of evidence on GRADE was mostly moderate. Conclusion Moderate quality of evidence suggests that PENG may result in better analgesia than FICB in patients undergoing hip surgeries. Data on motor-sparing ability and complications are scarce to draw conclusions. Further large-scale and high-quality RCTs should be conducted to supplement current findings.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Patients with hip surgery often experience moderate to severe postoperative pain, and need large doses of opioids to relieve it, which is not conducive to patient rehabilitation. Pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block is a new regional block technique that is considered to reduce postoperative pain and the use of opioids. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of PENG block for postoperative analgesia after hip surgery. METHODS We searched multiple databases for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published in English, which compared PENG block with fascia iliaca compartment block (FICB). The primary outcome was 24 h postsurgical opioid consumption (OC). The secondary outcomes were pain scores (PSs) at different timepoints after surgery and the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). RESULTS Five RCTs involving 234 patients were selected for our analysis. Our results show that the 24 h OC was drastically lower in PENG block versus FICB patients (SMD -0.60, 95% CI -1.08 to -0.11); P < 0.05, I2 = 69%). At the same time, there were no significant difference in postsurgical PSs between the two cohorts (6 h: MD -0.07, 95% CI -0.67 to 0.53; P = 0.82, I2 = 43%; 12 h: MD -0.60, 95% CI -1.40 to 0.19; P = 0.14, I2 = 31%; 24 h: MD 0.17, 95% CI -0.87 to 1.21; P = 0.75, I2 = 76%; 36 h: MD 0.80, 95% CI -0.92 to 2.51; P = 0.36, I2 = 73%; 48 h: MD -0.06, 95% CI -0.75 to 0.63; P = 0.86, I2 = 0%) and the incidence of PONV (RR 1.00, 95% CI 0.40-2.50, P = 1.00, I2 = 35%). CONCLUSIONS Our research shows that PENG block can reduce the use of opioids after hip surgery and is effective in postoperative analgesia. Future research should explore the injection method, concentration, and dosage.

Abstract
Background As an optional regional anesthesia approach, pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block has been successfully utilized to manage pain for hip surgeries without affecting motor function. The present meta-analysis aimed to verify the efficacy of PENG block for postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing hip surgery. Methods A total of 497 academic articles were identified after a systematic search in the databases of PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library up to 25 August 2022. The primary outcome was postoperative 24-h morphine consumption. Secondary outcomes included the time of the first request for rescue analgesia, static and dynamic pain scores 6 and 24 h after surgery, and incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). We calculated mean differences (MDs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for postoperative 24-h morphine consumption, time of the first request for rescue analgesia, static and dynamic pain scores 6 and 24 h after surgery, and odds ratios (ORs) with 95% CIs for incidence of PONV. The chi-square test was used for heterogeneity analysis, and heterogeneity was assessed by I 2. Statistical analysis was performed using Review Manager 5.4. Results Numerous electronic databases were searched, and finally, nine studies were identified. There was no significant difference in morphine consumption during the postoperative 24 h [MD: -2.57, 95% CI: (-5.42, 0.27), P = 0.08] and the time of the first request for rescue analgesia [MD: 1.79, 95% CI: (-1.06, 4.64), P = 0.22] between the PENG block and control groups. PENG block did not reveal a significant difference in 6 h [MD: -0.17, 95% CI: (-0.92, 0.57), P = 0.65] [MD: -0.69, 95% CI: (-1.58, 0.21), P = 0.13] and 24 h [MD: -0.25, 95% CI: (-1.54, 1.05), P = 0.71], [MD: 0.05, 95% CI: (-0.84, 0.93), P = 0.91] static and dynamic pain scores compared with other nerve block methods. Moreover, the two groups have a similar risk of PONV (OR: 1.29, 95% CI = 0.53-3.10, P = 0.57). Conclusion This review shows that PENG block can act as an alternative multimodal analgesia for hip surgery, and compared with the other kinds of nerve block, there was no significant difference in the postoperative analgesic effect of PENG block.

Pericapsular Nerve Group Block and Iliopsoas Plane Block: A Scoping Review of Quadriceps Weakness after Two Proclaimed Motor-Sparing Hip Blocks. Healthcare (Basel) 2022; 10:healthcare10081565. [PMID: 36011222 PMCID: PMC9408030 DOI: 10.3390/healthcare10081565] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/23/2022] [Revised: 08/14/2022] [Accepted: 08/15/2022] [Indexed: 01/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Iliopsoas plane (IP) is a fascial plane deep to the iliopsoas complex that can serve as a potential space for the injection of local anesthetics to selectively block the articular branches of femoral nerve and accessory obturator nerve to the anterior hip capsule. Two highly similar ultrasound-guided interfascial plane blocks that target the IP, pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block and iliopsoas plane block (IPB), were both designed to achieve motor-sparing sensory block to the anterior hip capsule. However, the most recent evidence shows that PENG block can cause 25% or more of quadriceps weakness, while IPB remains the hip block that can preserve quadriceps strength. In this scoping review of quadriceps weakness after PENG block and IPB, we first performed a focused review on the complicated anatomy surrounding the anterior hip capsule. Then, we systematically searched for all currently available cadaveric and clinical studies utilizing PENG block and IPB, with a focus on quadriceps weakness and its potential mechanism from the perspectives of fascial plane spread along and outside of the IP. We conclude that quadriceps weakness after PENG block, which places its needle tip directly deep to iliopsoas tendon (IT), may be the result of iliopectineal bursal injection. The incidental bursal injection, which can be observed on ultrasound as a medial fascial plane spread, can cause bursal rupture/puncture and an anteromedial extra-IP spread to involve the femoral nerve proper within fascia iliaca compartment (FIC). In comparison, IPB places its needle tip lateral to IT and injects just one-fourth of the volume of PENG block. The current evidence, albeit still limited, supports IPB as the true motor-sparing hip block. To avoid quadriceps weakness after PENG block, a more laterally placed needle tip, away from the undersurface of IT, and a reduction in injection volume should be considered. Future studies should focus on comparing the analgesic effects and quadriceps function impairment between PENG block and IPB.
