Abstract

[LANGUAGE= "English"] BACKGROUND: Hip fractures (HF) are among the most common fractures present in the emergency department and are very painful. Pericapsular nerve group block (PENG) is a new regional anesthesia technique developed for analgesia in total hip arthroplas-ties. We aimed to determine the effectiveness of PENG block used to reduce pain in patients with HF in the emergency department.

METHODS: This single-center, randomized, and prospective study was carried out in the emergency department. The patients in-cluded in the study were selected according to the suitability of the personnel who will perform the procedure. The sealed envelope system was used for randomization.

RESULTS: Statistical analysis was performed with 39 patients (18 patients in the PENG group, 21 patients in the control group). Thir-teen (33.3%) of the patients were female and 26 (66.7%) were male. The mean age was 75.3. At rest post-procedure, the mean Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) scores of the patients at the 30th min, 2nd, 6th, and 24th h were 1.78±1.83, 0.00±0.00, 0.00±0.00, and 1.28±1.41 in the PENG group. On the other hand, it was 3.38±1.86, 0.05±0.22, 2.86±2.37, and 4.95±1.47 in the control group, respectively. The mean NRS scores of the patients at 15° elevation of the leg at the 30th min, 2nd, 6th, and 24th h were 3.06±1.80, 0.06±0.24, 0.22±0.43, and 2.44±1.50 in the PENG group and it was 5.24±1.81, 1.05±0.92, 4.29±2.35, and 7.14±1.24 in the control group, respectively.

CONCLUSION: PENG block can reduce pain and the need for systemic analgesics as a practical option in patients with HF.

[LANGUAGE= "Turkish"] AMAÇ: Kalça kırıkları acil serviste en sık görülen kırıklar arasında yer alır ve çok ağrılıdır. Perikapsüler sinir grubu bloğu (PENG), total kalça artrop-lastilerinde analjezi için geliştirilmiş yeni bir bölgesel anestezi tekniğidir. Acil serviste kalça kırığı olan hastada ağrıyı azaltmak için kullanılan PENG bloğunun etkinliğini belirlemeyi amaçladık.

GEREÇ VE YÖNTEM: Bu tek merkezli randomize ileriye yönelik çalışma acil serviste gerçekleştirildi. Çalışmaya alınan hastalar, işlemi yapacak per-sonelin uygunluğuna göre seçildi. Randomizasyon için kapalı zarf sistemi kullanıldı.

BULGULAR: Otuz dokuz hasta ile istatistiksel analiz yapıldı (PENG grubunda 18 hasta, kontrol grubunda 21 hasta). Hastaların 13’ü (%33.3) kadın, 26’sı (%66.7) erkekti. Ortalama yaş 75.3 idi. PENG grubunda işlem sonrası istirahatte 30. dakika, 2., 6. ve 24. saat hastaların ortalama NRS skorları 1.78±1.83, 0.00±0.00, 0.00±0.00 ve 1.28±1.41 idi. Kontrol grubunda ise sırasıyla 3.38±1.86, 0.05±0.22, 2.86±2.37 ve 4.95±1.47 idi. PENG gru-bunda bacağın 15° elevasyonunda 30. dakika, 2., 6. ve 24. saatte hastaların ortalama NRS skorları 3.06±1.80, 0.06±0.24, 0.22±0.43 ve 2.44±1.50 ve 5.24±. Kontrol grubunda ise sırasıyla 1.81, 1.05±0.92, 4.29±2.35 ve 7.14±1.24.

TARTIŞMA: PENG blok kalça kırığı olan hastalarda pratik bir seçenek olarak ağrıyı ve sistemik analjezik ihtiyacını azaltabilir.
