Purpose: To evaluate the analgesic effect of preoperative fascia iliaca block on postoperative morphine equivalent dose, pain level, and patient satisfaction for patients electing to undergo primary hip arthroscopic labral repair with osteochondroplasty.
Methods: This prospective study included 60 patients (fascia iliaca block group: n = 27; control group: n = 33) undergoing elective arthroscopic hip surgery by a single board-certified orthopedic surgeon, fellowship trained in hip arthroscopy. Participants for the study included patients older than 10 years of age and younger than 85 years of age, American Society of Anesthesiologists classifications I to III, diagnosed with symptomatic femoroacetabular impingement, and/or hip labral tear, and/or cartilage damage, and electing to undergo arthroscopic hip surgery. Patients were randomized by surgical date to receive preoperative fascia iliaca block or control (no fascia iliaca block). Preoperative fascia iliaca block was administered by 1 of 4 board certified anesthesiologists using identical anesthetic (35-40 mL ropivacaine 0.35%). Postoperative morphine equivalent dose, self-reported pain level (visual analog scale) and patient satisfaction were measure postoperatively.
Results: There were no significant differences between the control group and the fascia iliaca block group in sex, age, height, weight, or body mass index. There was a significant difference between the 2 groups in distribution of American Society of Anesthesiologists classification (p = .031). There were no significant differences in postoperative morphine equivalent dose for patients receiving fascia iliaca block compared with the control group. There were no significant differences in self-reported visual analog scale pain and patient satisfaction between the 2 groups at any of the measured time points following surgery.
Conclusions: Based on the results of this study, routine preoperative fascia iliaca block for elective hip arthroscopic labral repair and treatment of femoroacetabular impingement is not recommended.
Level Of Evidence: Level II, prospective single blinded randomized study.

Mediastinal mass syndrome represents a major threat to respiratory and cardiovascular integrity, with difficult evidence-based risk stratification for interdisciplinary management. We conducted a narrative review concerning risk stratification and difficult airway management of patients presenting with a large mediastinal mass. This is supplemented by a case report illustrating our individual approach for a patient presenting with a subtotal tracheal stenosis due to a large cyst of the thyroid gland.

Introduction: Regional anesthesia, specifically fascia iliaca compartment blocks (FICB), is highly effective in managing pain, especially in military settings. However, a significant barrier to its implementation is the lack of provider confidence in performing ultrasound-guided procedures. This study evaluates the ability of physician assistant (PA) students, who are often first-line providers in austere locations, to identify the fascia iliaca compartment (FIC) using point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) after a brief training session and assesses their retention of this skill over a 60- to 90-day period.

Hospital admission due to fragility hip fracture has increased significantly in recent years. In patients with hip fracture, perioperative pain management is usually with opioids, whose dosage is difficult to adjust and have many side effects, especially in older adults. The purpose of this study was to determine the impact and the advantages of the implementation of the fascia iliaca blockade in older adults with hip fracture due to fragility included in the Orthogeriatric Clinical Care Center of the Fundación Santa Fe de Bogotá and the San José Infantil University Hospital in Bogotá, Colombia.

Purpose: The routine perioperative use of opioids has recently been questioned due to opioid-related side effects, which can be potentially harmful in geriatric patients. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of opioid-free anesthesia in geriatric patients undergoing hip surgery.
Patients And Methods: A total of 121 patients, aged 60 years or older, undergoing elective hip surgery were randomized to receive either opioid-free anesthesia with dexmedetomidine and esketamine (OFA group) or balanced anesthesia with opioids (CON group).
