Emergency Physician-performed Ultrasound-guided Femoral Nerve Blocks in Patients With Hip Fractures.
In this prospective study, emergency physicians perform ultrasound-guided femoral nerve block for patients with hip fractures. We compare the effectiveness of analgesia and patient satisfaction of ultrasound-guided femoral nerve block with liberal use of the pain medicine in the emergency department. The primary outcome is the assessment of time to …
Circum-Psoas Blocks Versus Combined Lumbar and Sacral Plexus Blocks in Hip Fracture Surgery
Hip fracture (HF) is one of the major worldwide problems that constitute a significant mortality rate, ranging from 14- 36% in the first year after injury, and is associated with profound temporary and sometimes permanent impairment of independence and quality of life in the geriatric population. Surgical treatment is considered …
HIP Fracture Oral ThromboPROphylaxis (Hip PRO Pilot)
As our Canadian population ages, hip fractures in these older adults are becoming very common. The best treatment for the majority of these injuries is urgent treatment with surgery. However, the hip fracture itself, the surgery required, and the immobility following these injuries are all risk factors for developing blood …
What Laxative Should be Used After Hip Fracture Surgery?

Effect of Tranexamic Acid (TXA) on Reduction of Postoperative Blood Transfusion
Tranexamic Acid (TXA) is an antifibrolytic medication used in total hip and knee arthroplasty to reduce the need for intraoperative and postoperative blood transfusions. Limited research is available on its use in hip fracture patients. We hypothesize that the use of TXA preoperatively, perioperatively, and postoperatively will decrease blood loss …
Effect of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation on Postoperative Delirium in Elderly Patients
To evaluate the efficacy of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) in reducing the incidence of postoperative delirium (POD) in elderly patients undergoing hip fracture surgery. This single-center, double-blind, randomized controlled trial will enroll participants aged 65 years and older, scheduled for elective hip surgery under spinal anesthesia. Participants will be …
PENG vs Femoral Block for Hip Fracture Analgesia
This study aims to compare the Pericapsular Nerve Group (PENG) block with femoral block for hip fracture pain. Participants presenting to the hospital with a diagnosis of hip fracture and consenting to analgesic block will receive either a PENG or femoral block. The choice of block will be dictated by …

Hip surgery accounts for a high percentage of both emergency and elective surgical procedures in hospitals. Regardless of surgery being prescribed to treat a fracture or coxarthrosis, patients are usually elderly with multiple associated comorbidities. When faced with this patient profile, there is a tendency to undertreat pain for fear …
