This study aims to compare the analgesic efficacy of ultrasound-guided PENG block with S-FICB during spinal anaesthesia for proximal hip surgeries.
Prospective observational study including patients scheduled for proximal hip surgeries under spinal anaesthesia.
Participants received either ultrasound-guided PENG block or S-FICB with 0.25% ropivacaine.
Pain, ease of positioning, and rescue analgesia were assessed using VAS, EOSP scores, and timing for positioning.
PENG block group had significantly lower VAS scores after administration and during positioning compared to S-FICB.
EOSP scores were higher in the PENG group, indicating better patient positioning.
Time required for positioning was shorter, with fewer patients needing supplemental analgesia.
