Amit Kumar

Background: To study the efficacy of fascia iliaca nerve block compartment after surgery for femoral bone fracture. Materials & methods: A total of 20 subjects with femoral bone fracture underwent operation under spinal anesthesia were included. The age ≥18 years old, who had ASA physical status I–III, femoral bone fracture surgery under subarachnoid block anesthesia were included. The subjects were divided into a FICNB group (n=10) and a control group (n=10). The results were analysed using SPSS software. A P value<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: A total of 20 subjects were enrolled. Out of the total, 10 were case groups and 10 were control groups. There was no difference in VAS scores at 15 minutes after operation, which were equal to zero between the FICNB and control groups. Conclusion:A single injection for FICNB could lead to postoperative pain relief.
