Ankur Kumar, Vineet Tyagi, Gaurav, Bilal Ahmad

Background: To compare postoperative analgesia of fascia iliaca compartment block and anterior quadratus lumborum block in proximal femur fracture Materials & Methods: A total of 80 patients were enrolled and were divided into two study groups with 40 patients in each group as follows: Group 1: Patients undergoing Fascia Iliaca Compartment Block, and Group 2: Patients undergoing Anterior Quadratus Lumborum Block. The visual analogue scale (VAS) was used to measure postoperative discomfort. All the results were recorded in Microsoft excel sheet followed by statistical analysis. Results: Mean time to first analgesic requirement among patients of group 1 and group 2 was significantly higher among patients of group 2 in comparison to patients of group 1. Total rescue analgesic requirement was significantly higher among patients of group 1 in comparison to patients of group 2.Postoperative pain perception was substantially more remarkable in the group 1 than in the group 2 commencing at minute 30. Conclusion: In comparison to patients who got fascia iliaca compartment block, those who underwent postoperative anterior anterior quadratus lumborum block for proximal femur fractures showed delayed first rescue analgesia.
