Comparison Between Quadro-iliac Plane Block (QIPB) and Supra-Inguinal Fascia Iliaca Compartment Block (S-FICB) for Total Hip Arthroplasty

This randomized clinical trial aims to evaluate and compare the analgesic efficacy and functional outcomes of the quadro-iliac plane block (QIPB) and the supra-inguinal fascia iliaca compartment block (S-FICB) in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty. The primary outcome is the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) within the first 48 hours after surgery. Secondary outcomes include postoperative total opioid consumption, ıncidence of quadriceps motor block, time to first ambulation, block performance time, falls, length of hospital stay, block- related complications(hematoma,local anesthetic systemic complications, vascular puncture, and infection), patient satisfaction assessed using a Likert scale, and incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting.

Preoperative Supra-inguinal Fascia Iliaca Block for Positioning Analgesia in Hip Fracture Patients Undergoing Spinal Anesthesia

The goal of the clinical trial is to learn if preoperative Superficial Inguinal Fascia Iliaca (SIFI) block works to reduce pain during positioning for spinal anesthesia. Investigators will compare this block to no block to see if it works to reduce procedural pain. All participants will be divided into two groups. Group A will be given preoperative SIFI block prior to spinal anesthesia positioning, while Group B patients will receive no block. They will be assessed by the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) at rest, during positioning, and at 12 and 24 hours postoperatively. Efficacy will be measured by using the VAS pain scoring system. The final assessment will be done at the 24-hour follow-up. A total of 132 patients (66 per group) fulfilling the inclusion criteria are enrolled in the study.
