About this study
Official title: Comparison of Preoperative Pericapsular Nerve Group (PENG) Block Versus Femoral Nerve Block for Optimizing Spinal Anaesthesia in Proximal Femur Fracture Surgery: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial
Hip fractures are common in older adults and are often associated with severe pain, making it difficult for patients to sit for spinal anesthesia before surgery. Peripheral nerve blocks may improve pain control and facilitate patient positioning, but it remains uncertain whether the Pericapsular Nerve Group (PENG) block provides advantages over the traditional femoral nerve block during the spinal anesthesia procedure.
Read the detailed description
Hip fractures are among the most common injuries in older adults and are associated with substantial morbidity, mortality, and healthcare utilization. Spinal anesthesia is frequently used for surgical repair of proximal femur fractures because of its favorable safety profile in elderly patients. However, severe pain caused by the fracture often makes positioning for spinal anesthesia difficult, resulting in patient discomfort, prolonged procedure time, multiple needle insertion attempts, and increased procedural complexity.
Peripheral nerve blocks are increasingly used before spinal anesthesia to improve analgesia and facilitate patient positioning. The femoral nerve block (FNB) has long been established as an effective regional anesthesia technique for patients with hip fractures. More recently, the ultrasound-guided Pericapsular Nerve Group (PENG) block has been introduced as a motor-sparing technique targeting the articular branches of the femoral, obturator, and accessory obturator nerves that innervate the anterior hip capsule. Previous studies have demonstrated that the PENG block provides effective analgesia during positioning for spinal anesthesia and may offer superior pain relief compared with conventional techniques. However, evidence comparing the effects of PENG block and femoral nerve block on the technical performance of spinal anesthesia and perioperative hemodynamic stability remains limited.
This prospective, randomized controlled trial is designed to compare ultrasound-guided PENG block with ultrasound-guided femoral nerve block in patients undergoing surgery for proximal femur fracture under spinal anesthesia. The study will evaluate whether PENG block improves procedural conditions for spinal anesthesia compared with femoral nerve block while also assessing perioperative analgesia and hemodynamic responses.
The study hypothesis is that preoperative PENG block will provide better procedural conditions for spinal anesthesia than femoral nerve block by improving patient positioning, reducing pain during positioning, facilitating spinal needle placement, decreasing the need for supplemental analgesic or sedative medication, and contributing to greater perioperative hemodynamic stability.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Spinal Anesthesia Convenience Score (SACS)
Spinal anesthesia convenience will be assessed using the Spinal Anesthesia Convenience Score (SACS), a composite clinical score evaluating the ease of spinal anesthesia based on anatomical landmark palpation, patient cooperation, sitting position quality, pain during passive hip flexion, and pain while maintaining the sitting position. Total scores range from 0 to 11, with higher scores indicating easier spinal anesthesia conditions.
Measured: During spinal anesthesia procedure (immediately after patient positioning and before initiation of surgery)
Secondary outcomes (11)
First-Attempt Success of Spinal Anesthesia
The proportion of participants in whom successful intrathecal access is achieved on the first needle insertion attempt.
Measured: During the spinal anesthesia procedure.
Number of Spinal Needle Insertion Attempts
The total number of spinal needle insertion attempts required to achieve successful spinal anesthesia.
Measured: During the spinal anesthesia procedure.
Duration of Spinal Anesthesia Procedure
Time from the beginning of patient positioning until completion of spinal anesthesia and return to the supine position, measured in minutes.
Measured: During the spinal anesthesia procedure.
Anxiety Score
Patient anxiety will be assessed using an 11-point Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) ranging from 0 (no anxiety) to 10 (maximum anxiety). Lower scores indicate less anxiety.
Measured: Before peripheral nerve block, 30 minutes after block placement, and immediately before surgical incision (after spinal anesthesia).
Patient Satisfaction
Patient satisfaction with the anesthesia process will be assessed using a Numeric Rating Scale ranging from 0 (not satisfied at all) to 10 (completely satisfied). Higher scores indicate greater satisfaction.
Measured: Postoperative Day 0 (before discharge from the post-anesthesia care unit [PACU])
Anesthesiologist Satisfaction
The anesthesiologist's satisfaction with procedural conditions will be assessed using a Numeric Rating Scale ranging from 0 (not satisfied at all) to 10 (completely satisfied). Higher scores indicate greater satisfaction.
Measured: Immediately after completion of spinal anesthesia.
Perioperative Hemodynamic Parameters
Mean arterial blood pressure will be recorded throughout the perioperative period.
Measured: Before peripheral nerve block; 1, 5, 10, 15, and 30 minutes after block placement; and 1, 5, 10, 15, and 30 minutes after spinal anesthesia.
Incidence of Hypotension
Hypotension is defined as a mean arterial pressure below 65 mmHg. The proportion of participants experiencing hypotension will be recorded.
Measured: From spinal anesthesia until 30 minutes after surgery completed.
Vasopressor Requirement
Total intravenous ephedrine dose administered for the treatment of hypotension, measured in milligrams.
Measured: From spinal anesthesia until 30 minutes after surgery completed.
Additional Analgesic Medication Requirement
Total doses of intravenous fentanyl (micrograms) administered during positioning for spinal anesthesia.
Measured: During the spinal anesthesia procedure.
Additional Sedative Medication Requirement
Total doses of intravenous midazolam (milligrams) administered during positioning for spinal anesthesia.
Measured: During the spinal anesthesia procedure.

Clinical summary
