The Effect of Facial Plane Blocks on Postoperative Recovery Quality in Hip Surgery

April 30, 2024 updated by: Antalya Training and Research Hospital

The Effect of Ultrasound-guided Pericapsular Nerve Block, Fascia Iliaca Compartment Block and Femoral Block on Postoperative Recovery Quality in Hip Surgery

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of ultrasound-guided pericapsular nerve block, fascia iliaca compartment block, and femoral block on the quality of recovery as part of multimodal analgesia before hip surgery under spinal anesthesia.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Orthopedic procedures have become increasingly common in clinical practice. With the increasing elderly population, there have been significant developments in recent years in the field of perioperative pain management and anesthesia strategies for patients scheduled for hip surgery. Patients undergoing hip surgery may experience severe pain both postoperatively and during the positioning of the patient during surgery. This leads to increased sympathetic activation such as tachycardia and hypertension in patients, especially in the elderly population, and some undesirable complications due to the patients' existing comorbidities. Therefore, pain management strategies for patients undergoing hip surgery are based on a range of anesthesia techniques, including the use of opioids, neuraxial anesthesia (spinal, epidural, or a combination of them), nerve blocks, especially pericapsular nerve block (PENG), fascia iliaca compartment block (FICB) and femoral block). Reducing patients' pain and improving the quality of postoperative recovery has become increasingly important. The Quality of Recovery-15 (QoR-15) is a 15-question questionnaire validated to assess postoperative recovery. This questionnaire assesses patients' pain, physical comfort, physical independence, psychological support, and emotional status in the early postoperative period. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of ultrasound-guided PENG block, FICB block, and femoral block on the quality of recovery as part of multimodal analgesia before hip surgery under spinal anesthesia.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
PENG block group
Before the spinal anesthesia, PENG block will be performed under the guidance of ultrasound.
Ultrasound-guided PENG block is performed approximately 30 minutes before surgery in patients undergoing hip surgery in a separate regional anaesthesia room with standard anaesthesia monitoring.
FIC block group
Before the spinal anesthesia, FIC block will be performed under the guidance of ultrasound.
Ultrasound-guided FIC block is performed approximately 30 minutes before surgery in patients undergoing hip surgery in a separate regional anaesthesia room with standard anaesthesia monitoring.
Femoral block group
Before the spinal anesthesia, femoral block will be performed under the guidance of ultrasound.
Ultrasound-guided femoral block is performed approximately 30 minutes before surgery in patients undergoing hip surgery in a separate regional anaesthesia room with standard anaesthesia monitoring.
Control group
No intervention
No intervention

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
recovery quality
Time Frame: 5 minutes
The Quality of Recovery-15 (QoR-15) is a 15-question questionnaire validated to assess postoperative recovery. This questionnaire assesses patients' pain, physical comfort, physical independence, psychological support, and emotional status in the early postoperative period. The patient is asked to express their status scoring from 0 to 10; therefore, the total score ranges from 0 to 150 points,
5 minutes

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
postoperative Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) pain score
Time Frame: postoperative 24 hours
The postoperative pain intensity will be assessed with Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) scores (0 represents no pain and 10 represents the worst possible pain) at postoperative 24 hours.
postoperative 24 hours
postoperative opioid consumption
Time Frame: postoperative 24 hours
The amount of postoperative opioid consumption will be recorded
postoperative 24 hours
