Brief Summary

The Ultrasound-guided Supra-inguinal Fascia Iliaca Block (SIFIB) is an advanced regional anesthesia technique strategically directed at the three primary nerves of the lumbar plexus. As the scope of regional anesthesia methods continues to grow in clinical application, this approach emerges as a versatile method. It can be used independently for pain management or as the primary anesthetic method, particularly in well-selected patients undergoing isolated limb surgeries or in combination with other regional anesthesia approaches.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Block Success which provided surgical anesthesia, intraoperatively

  After performing the blocks, the sensory block was examined with a pinprick test using a 27-gauge hypodermic needle, (0 = no sensory block; 1 = tactile sense present, no pain; 2 = no tactile sense and no pain). Cases with a score of 1 or 2 after 30 min were considered successful.

  Intraoperatively and PACU unit (up to 2 hours)

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Additional analgesic requirement

  Intraoperatively and PACU unit (up to 2 hours)

Interventions

Suprainguinal fascia iliaca block OTHER

The design of this study involved the retrospective analysis of data. Data was gathered from adult patients falling into the American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) categories I to III, who were scheduled for elective lower limb surgical procedures. More specifically, patients who had undergone SIFIB either as the primary anesthesia approach or as part of their anesthesia regimen were included. Those who had received general anesthesia, neuraxial anesthesia, or infiltration anesthesia were excluded from the study. Importantly, all patients who participated in the study provided written informed consent for both their involvement in the study and the publication of their data.

Also known as: Sciatic nerve block

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years - 85 Years
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
• Sampling Method: Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Specifically, we included patients who underwent SIFIB either as the primary anesthesia method or as a component of the anesthesia plan.

You may qualify if:

• ASA I-III patients who underwent elective lower limb surgical procedures.

You may not qualify if:

• Patients who received general anesthesia, neuraxial anesthesia, or infiltration anesthesia were excluded.
