Anterior Iliopsoas Space Block Versus PENG Block on Ease of Positioning for Spinal Anathesia in Patients Undergoing Hip Surgeries

Recruiting now · Phase 3

Conditions studied: Pain Management

In brief

Total hip arthroplasty (THA) has been one of the most significant advancements in orthopedic surgery over the past century. hip fractures are typically associated with severe pain, effective analgesia is crucial both before and after surgery.Spinal anesthesia (SA) is the most commonly employed method of anesthesia for repairing these fractures.The anterior iliopsoas space block is a considered as a novel technique that targets the lumbosacral trunk as it passes beneath the psoas major muscle, offering potential advantages over the traditional sacral plexus block, which is performed in the supine position.
