Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Active Comparator: PENG Block
For patients with hip fracture and having hip surgery this study evaluates the analgesic effects of Pericapsular Nerve Group (PENG) block for positioning before spinal anesthesia.
Pericapsular Nerve Group Block
Active Comparator: Control
in this group, standardised opioid doses (drug: Fentanyl) will be used for analgesia for positioning pain
standardised intravenous opioid

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Pain scores on the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS)
Time Frame: Group A: 5 minutes after intervention (intravenous opioid), Group B: 20 minutes after intervention (PENG block)
Changes in Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) at rest and on movement will be recorded at intervals. NRS is a unidimensional measure of pain intensity in adults. The NRS is a segmented numeric version of the visual analog scale (VAS) in which a respondent selects a whole number (0-10 integers) that best reflects the intensity of his/her pain. The 11-point numeric scale ranges from '0' representing one pain extreme (e.g. "no pain") to '10' representing the other pain extreme (e.g. "pain as bad as you can imagine" or "worst pain imaginable").
Group A: 5 minutes after intervention (intravenous opioid), Group B: 20 minutes after intervention (PENG block)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Duration of spinal anesthesia performance
Time Frame: Group A: 5 minutes after intervention (intravenous opioid), Group B: 20 minutes after intervention (PENG block)
It will be measured in "minutes", from the start of positioning maneuvers to the spinal needle removal
Group A: 5 minutes after intervention (intravenous opioid), Group B: 20 minutes after intervention (PENG block)
Quality of patient's position
Time Frame: Group A: 5 minutes after intervention (intravenous opioid), Group B: 20 minutes after intervention (PENG block)
The position will be characterized as "unsatisfactory", "satisfactory", "good" or "very good"
Group A: 5 minutes after intervention (intravenous opioid), Group B: 20 minutes after intervention (PENG block)
Analgesic consumption
Time Frame: 24 hours
In the postoperative period, patients will be given opioids according to their pain density with a patient-controlled device, and the daily Morphine consumption in Patient Controlled Analgesia device will be collected and compared between groups.
