Lumbar-Sacral Plexus Block vs Fascia Iliaca Block Plus Low-Dose Spinal Anesthesia for Femoral Neck Fracture Surgery
Sponsor: Bursa Yuksek Ihtisas Training and Research Hospital
Summary
Femoral neck fracture surgery in elderly patients is frequently complicated by intraoperative hypotension and inadequate postoperative analgesia. Regional anesthesia techniques are increasingly preferred to reduce hemodynamic instability and improve pain control. This prospective observational study aims to compare the efficacy of lumbar and sacral plexus block with fascia iliaca block combined with low-dose spinal anesthesia in terms of severe intraoperative hypotension and postoperative analgesic outcomes in patients undergoing surgery for femoral neck fracture.

Interventions
Lumbar and Sacral Plexus Block
For lumbar and sacral plexus blocks, a 10-15 cm ultrasound-visible peripheral nerve block needle and a nerve stimulator will be used. For lumbar plexus shamrock imaging and sacral plexus blocks, parasacral imaging will be used. 0.5% bupivacaine will be used as the local anesthetic.
Fascia Iliaca Block Combined with Low-Dose Spinal Anesthesia
Spinal anesthesia will be administered using a 25-gauge Quincke needle. After positioning the patient on the side to be operated on in a lateral position, hypobaric spinal anesthesia will be administered through an appropriate (L3-4 or L4-5) with 1.5 cc of local anesthetic mixture. Before receiving spinal anesthesia, patients will undergo a supra-inguinal fascia iliaca block with 20 to 30 milliliters of 0.25% local anesthetic (bupivacaine).
