Background Ultrasound-guided (USG) suprainguinal fascia iliaca (SIFI) block is being used widely for post-operative analgesia in patients undergoing hip and femur surgeries. However, the optimal volume of local anesthetic required for SIFI block is not well defined. Thus, we compared different volumes of 0.

- - The study compares the effectiveness of two ultrasound-guided Fascia iliaca compartment block (FICB) techniques—suprainguinal and infrainguinal—in providing pain relief for patients undergoing above-knee orthopedic surgeries.
- - Conducted as a double-blinded trial with 32 patients, the research measured pain scores, need for additional analgesics, and patient satisfaction after administering local anesthetic via both methods.
- - Results showed that the suprainguinal approach resulted in lower pain scores and reduced need for rescue analgesics over 24 hours, leading to higher patient satisfaction compared to the infrainguinal technique.
Introduction: Varying levels of knowledge and attitudes among parturients and physicians toward epidural analgesia result in its low utilization. We aimed to assess the knowledge, attitude, and practice of parturients, obstetricians, and anesthesiologists regarding epidural labor analgesia.
Methodology: We surveyed obstetricians, anesthesiologists, and parturients availing care and later delivered at our hospital from July 1, 2017, to December 31, 2017.
