Özet
Background: Suprainguinal Fascia Iliaca Compartment Block (SFICB) is a widely utilized technique for managing postoperative pain in hip surgery. The timing of its administration, either preoperative or postoperative, plays a crucial role in influencing patient outcomes. This study aims to compare the effects of preoperative versus postoperative SFICB on postoperative recovery in patients undergoing hip hemiarthroplasty (HHA). Methods: In this prospective randomized trial, 60 patients scheduled for HHA were randomly assigned to two groups: Group PreS (preoperative SFICB) and Group PostS (postoperative SFICB). SFICB was performed under ultrasound guidance using 0.20% bupivacaine. The primary outcome was assessed using the Quality of Recovery-15 (QoR-15) score at 24 h postoperatively. Secondary outcomes included the Nursing Delirium Screening Scale (N-DSS), postoperative nausea/vomiting (PONV), and opioid consumption. Results: Demographic variables were comparable between groups (p > 0.05). Spinal anesthesia duration was shorter in Group PreS (p = 0.005), while surgery and total procedure times were similar (p > 0.05). QoR-15 scores improved in both groups, with significant increases in moderate (p = 0.004, p = 0.047) and severe pain (p < 0.001, p = 0.028). At T1, total QoR-15 (p = 0.034) and severe pain score (p < 0.001) were significantly better in Group PreS. Preoperative fentanyl need was lower in Group PreS (p < 0.001). Although first rescue analgesia time was longer in Group PostS (p = 0.026) morphine equivalent consumption (p = 0.564) was similar. N-DSS, delirium incidence, and PONV showed no differences (p > 0.05). No complications were observed. Conclusions: Preoperative SFICB improved postoperative QoR-15 scores compared to postoperative SFICB in elderly HHA patients, but optimal timing and perioperative settings require further research.
