Abstract


The aim of the study is to compare the analgesic efficacy of Continuous Epidural block with Con-tinuous Fascia Iliaca Compartment Block for femur surgery done under subarachnoid block. A total of 120 ( n=120 ) consented patients fulfil-ing the inclusion criteria who underwent elective surgery for fracture femur were selected. They were randomized to group F ( n = 60 ) and group E ( n = 60 ) to receive either Fascia iliaca com-partment block or Epidural block respectively for postoperative analgesia. The technique of spinal anaesthesia were standardised in both the groups. The patients were evaluated for VAS score and hemodynamic parameter at 1,2,4,8,12,16,and 24th hour.

Results were analysed There was no substantial demographic difference between both the groups (P > 0.05). The mean VAS score in both the groups were comparable (P>0.05). The other hemodynamic parameters and side effects were comparable between both the groups. Conclud-ed that FICB holds considerable promise as an effective postoperative analgesia with less side effects compared to Epidural analgesia.
