Abstract
FLORES CADENA, Luis Emilio and ATHIE GARCIA, José Manuel. Pericapsular Nerve Group blockade in hip surgery. Perioperative analgesic experience. Acta méd. Grupo Ángeles [online]. 2021, vol.19, n.4, pp.480-484. Epub Aug 01, 2022. ISSN 1870-7203. https://doi.org/10.35366/102531.
Hip fractures are surgical entities that are mostly present in elderly individuals with frequently challenging comorbidities.
Objective:
Report our perioperative analgesic experience in the Angeles Mocel Hospital in patients undergoing hip surgery.
Material and methods:
We present an observational, descriptive, and prospective study in 14 patients in which ECO-guided PENG block was administered with 30 mL, 0.5% ropivacaine. Referred pain was assessed at rest and at active movement 20 minutes and during the first ten hours after block administration.
Results:
20 minutes after block administration, resting referred pain diminished 25.6% points (NRS scale) and active movement referred pain diminished 39.58% according to basal pre-block referral. Patient pain remained mild during the subsequent 10 hours.
Conclusions:
The PENG block is an effective alternative for perioperative pain management in patients undergoing hip fracture surgery with adequate pain inhibition and facilitated movement and early rehabilitation in the first postsurgical hours.
Keywords : PENG blockade; hip surgery; analgesia for hip surgery.
