Effectiveness of Ultrasonography Guided Femoral Nerve Block for Patient Positioning during Central Neuraxial Block in Elderly Patients for Fracture of Femur - A Prospective, Randomized Control Trial

Abstract: BACKGROUND Central neuraxial blocks, mainly spinal anaesthesia is the preferred anaesthesia over general anaesthesia in fracture of femur surgeries in elderly patients because of various side effects associated with general anaesthesia. However, the majority of the patients during positioning for spinal anaesthesia are associated with severe pain for which positioning becomes difficult.
