Supports FICB over FNB for positioning in hip fracture spinal anesthesia; extends randomized comparisons of regional blocks.
Singh et al. (2020) conducted an RCT in Hip fracture (n=60). Ultrasound guided fascia iliaca compartment block (FICB) vs. Ultrasound guided femoral nerve block (FNB) was evaluated on NRS pain scores while positioning for spinal anesthesia (p=0.030). Ultrasound-guided fascia iliaca compartment block significantly reduced pain during positioning for spinal anesthesia compared to femoral nerve block in patients with hip fractures (p=0.030).
