Randomized Controlled TrialEffectiveness of pericapsular nerve group block with ultrasonography in patients diagnosed with hip fracture in the emergency department.
Hip fractures (HF) are among the most common fractures present in the emergency department and are very painful. Pericapsular nerve group block (PENG) is a new regional anesthesia technique developed for analgesia in total hip arthroplas-ties. We aimed to determine the effectiveness of PENG block used to reduce pain in patients with HF in the emergency department. ⋯ PENG block can reduce pain and the need for systemic analgesics as a practical option in patients with HF.
