Study Summary

Hip Fracture (HFx) is a painful injury that is often treated in the Emergency Department (ED) with intravenous opiates. However, this class of medications may cause deleterious side effects. An alternative analgesic approach involves regional anesthesia. The investigators attempted to determine (1) whether ultrasound guided peripheral nerve blocks (UPNBs) could be safely performed in an ED setting, (2) whether UPNBs would be more effective than standard treatment in controlling pain from HFx and (3) which of two UPNBs was superior for pain relief. A convenience sample of patients with an isolated HFx and a pain score \> 5/10 were enrolled and randomized to one of three arms: (1) Ultrasound guided 3-in-1 femoral nerve block (UFNB), (2) Ultrasound guided fascia iliaca compartment block (UFIB), or (3) IVMS. Patients indicated their pain from 0 (no pain) to 10 (extreme pain).

Primary Outcome

Pain Score at 30 minutes post-administration of pain control treatment. Pain Scale: Scores range from 0 (no pain) to 10 (sever pain). A score of 5 is moderate pain

Interventions

  • PROCEDURE UFNB (Ultrasound guided femoral nerve block)
  • PROCEDURE UFIB (Ultrasound Guided Fascia Iliaca Compartment Block)
  • DRUG IVMS (IV Morphine)
