About this trial

Hip fracture surgery is associated with significant postoperative pain and increased opioid requirements. Regional anesthesia techniques may improve analgesia and reduce opioid consumption. This prospective, randomized, double-blind, controlled trial aims to compare the postoperative analgesic efficacy of Quadro-Iliac Plane Block (QIPB), Suprainguinal Fascia Iliaca Block (SIFIB), and standard analgesia in patients undergoing hip fracture surgery under spinal anesthesia. The primary outcome is cumulative tramadol consumption during the first 24 postoperative hours. Secondary outcome measures include postoperative pain intensity, rescue analgesic requirement, incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting, Quality of Recovery-15 (QoR-15) score, and patient satisfaction score.

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Quadro-Iliac Plane Block

    Procedure/Surgery

    Ultrasound-guided quadro-iliac plane block will be performed following spinal anesthesia in patients undergoing hip fracture surgery. The block will be administered in addition to standard multimodal analgesia.

  • Suprainguinal Fascia Iliaca Block

    Procedure/Surgery

    Ultrasound-guided suprainguinal fascia iliaca block will be performed following spinal anesthesia in patients undergoing hip fracture surgery. The block will be administered in addition to standard multimodal analgesia.

  • Standard Multimodal Analgesia

    Other intervention

    Patients assigned to the control group will receive standard multimodal analgesia without a regional block following hip fracture surgery performed under spinal anesthesia.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Cumulative Tramadol Consumption During the First 24 Postoperative Hours

The total amount of tramadol administered during the first 24 postoperative hours will be recorded and compared among the study groups.

Time frame
24 hours after surgery

Secondary outcomes

1

Postoperative Pain Intensity at Rest

Postoperative pain intensity at rest will be assessed using the 11-point Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), where 0 indicates no pain and 10 indicates the worst imaginable pain. Higher scores indicate greater pain intensity.

Time frame
At 0, 2, 6, 12, and 24 hours after surgery
2

Time to First Rescue Analgesia

Time from completion of surgery to the first administration of rescue analgesia, measured in hours.

Time frame
Within the first 24 hours after surgery
3

Rescue Analgesic Requirement

The proportion of patients requiring rescue analgesia during the first 24 hours after surgery.

Time frame
Within the first 24 hours after surgery
4

Incidence of Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting

The incidence of postoperative nausea and/or vomiting during the first 24 hours after surgery will be recorded.

Time frame
Within the first 24 hours after surgery
