About this study

Official title: Pre-operative Fascia Iliaca Blocks and Opioid Requirements in Hip Fracture Patients

The purpose of this study is to determine if non-continuous local anesthetic fascia iliaca blocks performed in the emergency department are effective for preoperative analgesia in hip fracture patients. Investigators hypothesize that patients with these blocks will have lower opioid requirements than patients in a historical group in whom blocks were not performed.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Total Pre-op IV Morphine Equivalents (TIVME)

    IV morphine equivalent dosing pre-operatively

    Measured: From Date of admission until date of surgery, approximately 48 hours

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Mean Pre-op Pain Score

    Mean patient-reported pain score

    Measured: From Date of admission until date of surgery, approximately 48 hours

  2. Length of Hospital Stay (LOS)

    Measured: Through study completion, approximately 5 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hip Fracture, run by Corewell Health West.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Sep 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Total Pre-op IV Morphine Equivalents (TIVME) (time frame: From Date of admission until date of surgery, approximately 48 hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 22 Sep 2023.
