Background: femoral nerve block and facia iliaca block are the mainstay of anaesthesia in hip fractures surgery. Femoral nerve block (FNB) is effective in providing analgesia for femur fractures. A fascia iliaca compartment block (FICB) is a modification of the femoral nerve block Aim of the Study: Evaluating various hemodynamic parameters (heart rate, mean arterial pressure, oxygen saturation) and visual analog scale score in femoral nerve block and facia iliaca block in hip surgery patients Methods: A total of 60 patients were randomly allocated to two groups (30 in each group). One group received femoral nerve block (FNB) and second group received fascia iliaca block (FIB) for postoperative pain relief. These blocks were ultrasound guided. All Patients’ hemodynamic parameters like heart rate, mean arterial pressure, oxygen saturation and pain was evaluated by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) analysed and compared in both the group. Results: In our study most of the participant were male with older age group (>60 year). There are no statistically significant difference were found in respect to age distribution, gender, BMI, ASA grade, hemodynamic status (heart rate, MAP, O2 saturation and VAS score for pain (p>0.05) among FIB and FNB group. Conclusion: Facia iliaca block and femoral nerve block both are equally effective and no significant difference in vitals and post operative analgesia.
