摘要

Isolated hip fractures incur significant mortality within 1 year of operative repair. Adequate analgesia is important in maintaining functional status and facilitating recovery. A multi-modal pain management strategy incorporating regional anesthesia may decrease the need for high-dose narcotics and promote faster recovery. The Pericapsular Nerve Group (PENG) block was thus developed as a regional anesthesia option for patients with hip fractures. It involves an ultrasound-guided approach that targets the anterior hip zone to provide a motor-sparing hip block. This write-up provides a sequential, step-by-step guide on how to perform the PENG block in the emergency department.
