Pericapsular Nerves Block as Analgesia in Patients with Hip Fracture |Biomedgrid

Regional analgesia techniques are very useful in medical practice; they contribute to provide better patient care, freeing them from the unpleasant effects of systemic opioid-type analgesics used in severe pain, in the specific case of hip fracture. It was given life by Girón Arango, et al. to a new pericapsular nerve block technique called PENG, which with a single echo-guided puncture deprives the femoral, obturator and accessory obturator nerves of sensory action, which oversee perceiving the sensory stimuli of the proximal femur.
