Why the study?
Femur fractures are an important public health issue linked to high mortality and loss of functionality, prompting a comparison of FNB versus intravenous fentanyl for analgesia prior to positioning for spinal block.
Does femoral nerve block improve pain scores and positioning quality compared to intravenous fentanyl in patients with fractured femur undergoing spinal anesthesia?
Does femoral nerve block improve pain scores and positioning quality compared to intravenous fentanyl in patients with fractured femur undergoing spinal anesthesia?
Femoral nerve block provides superior analgesia and better patient positioning conditions compared to intravenous fentanyl for spinal anesthesia in femur fracture surgeries.
Femoral nerve block should be preferred over IV fentanyl for positioning in femur fracture patients; confirms superior analgesia in this RCT.
Introduction: Femur fractures configure an important public health issue and are associated with high mortality taxes and lose of functionality. Study aimed to compare the analgesic effects of FNB with intravenous (IV) fentanyl prior to positioning for spinal block in patients with fractured femur.
