Pain Control Following Total Hip Arthroplasty: A Prospective Randomized Study Comparing Spinal Anesthesia Adjuncts vs. Fascia Iliaca Block vs. Pericapsular Nerve Group Block vs. Local Anesthetic Infiltration

Anthony Albers
Presented byAnthony Albers, MD CM, FRCSC

This presentation will cover the following:
Background and Introduction: pain management with use of nerve blocks post hip replacement.
Study Methods and Design: four arm randomized control study.
Results: local anesthetic infiltration leads to higher patient satisfaction, lower perceived pain and lower opiate consumption.
Implications for Patient Care and Treatment: the surgical team should prioritize the use of local anesthetic infiltration over the use of Fascia Iliaca or PENG blocks in order to improve post-operative pain control and reduce costs.
