Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to compare the effectiveness of two different nerve blocks—suprainguinal fascia iliaca compartment (SFIC) block and pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block—for managing pain and cognitive function after hip and proximal femur surgery.
- The research involved 66 patients, who were divided into two groups to receive one of the blocks post-surgery, and various metrics such as pain levels, muscle strength, and cognitive function were assessed.
- Results showed that the PENG block provided better pain relief and reduced opioid use compared to the SFIC block, while both groups displayed similar levels of cognitive impairment.
