Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Mean Change from Baseline in Pain Scores on the Numeric Rating Scale (0 to 10, where 10 is Maximum Pain) at 30 minutes after Administration of Block, at Rest and During Active Hip Flexion
Change in reported pain score should be at least one whole unit on the numeric rating scale.
Measured 30 minutes after administered nerve block.
Secondary Outcomes (2)
Ratio of Failed Blocks
Through study completion, an average of 1 year
Rate of Complications
Through study completion, an average of 1 year
Study Arms (2)
Fascia Iliaca Compartment Block (FICB)
Participants with a radiologically verified hip fracture receiving a FICB using a blind technique guided by anatomical landmarks.
Femoral Nerve Block (FNB)
Participants with a radiologically verified hip fracture receiving a FNB using ultrasound guidance for direct nerve visualisation.
Interventions
Blind technique.
Ultrasound guided.
Ropivacaine dosed according to local guidelines.
Eligibility Criteria
All adult patients in the emergency department with a radiologically verified hip fracture eligible for a peripheral nerve block according to local guidelines
You may qualify if:
- Adult emergency department patient over 18 years of age with a radiologically verified fracture classified as hip fracture that are eligible for a peripheral nerve block according to local guidelines
You may not qualify if:
- Multi-system trauma
- Isolated pelvic or diaphyseal femur fracture
- Patients unable to communicate regardless of reason
- Patients with contraindications to receiving a peripheral nerve block with an amide local anaesthetic according to local guidelines
