Ultrasound Guided Nerve Block

This trial is designed to compare the post-operative analgesic efficacy and safety of liposomal bupivacaine versus plain bupivacaine when both are used for ultrasound-guided combined suprascapular and axillary nerve block in patients undergoing elective arthroscopic shoulder surgery.

The aim of this study to evaluate efficacy of ultrasound guided regional anesthesia in performing awake tympanoplasty surgery versus traditional general anesthesia

Hip fractures are a growing public health concern globally due to the aging population, with high incidence and significant mortality rates one year post-fracture. Effective pain management is critical to improving outcomes and accelerating recovery. Tramadol, a widely used intravenous analgesic, has dual opioid and non-opioid mechanisms but is associated with side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, and respiratory depression, necessitating careful monitoring in hip fracture patients. The supra-inguinal fascia iliaca compartment block (SiFICB) offers a promising alternative, targeting key nerves to achieve effective analgesia through ultrasound-guided delivery of local anesthetics. SiFICB minimizes side effects and improves pain control by accurately blocking the femoral, lateral femoral cutaneous, and obturator nerves. While its postoperative benefits are well-documented, its efficacy in managing preoperative pain from hip fractures remains underexplored. This study hypothesizes that ultrasound-guided SiFICB provides superior perioperative analgesia compared to intravenous tramadol. A prospective randomized controlled trial will evaluate the analgesic efficacy of SiFICB, using the numerical rating scale (NRS) to assess pain, aiming to improve the management of hip fracture-related pain and patient outcomes.
