Abstract EN
Fractures in and around the hip are common presentations in the emergency department.
It is commonly seen in the elderly as a result of osteoporotic changes.
However, younger age groups are also affected, especially as a result of high velocity trauma.
Irrespective of age, hip fractures are extremely painful, and it is difficult to position the patients for anesthesia procedures.
Most of these cases are performed under subarachnoid block (SAB) or combined spinal-epidural anesthesia (CSEA), which requires the patient to be in sitting or lateral position.
Here, we report a series of ten cases where pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block was administered prior to positioning the patients for SAB or CSEA.
This block is a recently described regional anesthesia technique that provides excellent analgesia for hip fractures.
It also provides very good analgesia for patient positioning during procedures such as SAB or CSEA.
