Comparison of Pericapsular Nerve Group Block (PENG) Versus Fascia Iliaca Compartment Block (FICB) for Hip Fracture Analgesia in Emergency Department Patients

Intervention Type: Procedure
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY
Regional anesthesia for hip fractures has been shown to decrease rates of delirium in elderly patients with hip fractures as well as improve pain compared to systemic opioids. The Pericapsular Nerve Group (PENG) block has recently received attention as an alternative approach to femoral nerve block and Fascia Iliaca Compartment Block (FICB). The investigators seek to evaluate if there is a difference between the PENG and FICB in terms of efficacy of pain control in ED patients presenting with hip fracture. We hypothesize that the PENG block may be superior based on previous research.
