The effect of suprainguinal fascia iliaca block on the recovery of patients after arthroscopic hip surgery
Paediatric Anaesthesia May 15, 2019
Alrayashi W, et al. - Researchers examined the outcomes of 716 patients undergoing arthroscopic hip surgery, including 275 who received a suprainguinal fascia iliaca block, and 441 who did not have a block, in order to assess the impact of receipt of a block as part of their analgesic regimen on opioids consumption and perioperative pain in these patients. The block group had significantly less total opioid consumption compared to those not receiving a block but had no statistical difference in pain scores. In addition, they noted a lower frequency of emesis in the PACU and shorter PACU times among patients with the regional block. These findings suggest suprainguinal fascia iliaca blocks as clinically effective in young patients undergoing arthroscopic hip surgery.
