Abstract

Background 1.6 million patients worldwide are victims of hip fracture. The incidence is expected to rise with ageing of world’s population. Elderly patients with hip fracture pose a medical challenge for the anesthesiologist and are often associated with high incidence of morbidity and mortality. Early surgical fixation of fractured joint is necessary to reduce associated morbidity. Advanced age and delayed surgical correction and medical history are independent factors determining 1 year mortality after hip fixation which is 23.9% in these patients.

Objective: In this case series where we share our experience of fracture femur fixation performed under USG guided combined lumbosacral block for 19 patients of ASA 3/4 physical status.

Method: Hip fracture fixation was performed under USG guided and neurostimulation technique Lumbar plexus and Para-sacral sciatic nerve block with 20 ml and 15 ml of 0.3% Ropivacaine respectively. All patients were shifted to ICU for further care.

Conclusion: USG guided Lumbosacral plexus block for surgeries around the hip joint can be used as a sole anesthetic in high-risk patients. Detailed preoperative evaluation and optimization, vigilant patient selection, counselling, monitoring, providing optimum drug dosage are key for success.

Keywords: Lumbosacral plexus block, Hip fracture, USG-guided

    Interviews published in a recently released book titled Final Fantasy 7 Remake Ultimania include the above information from creative director Tetsuya Nomura. He also teased something new and important that didn’t originally appear in the 1997 version would be coming, after being suggested by series producer Yoshinori Kitase.Yes, that’s the downside of a secondary service. But honestly, I can’t complain. More often than not, games are released that are less popular, so the net result is usually that there’s more on the service for me to play than I have time for.
