Regional analgesia versus systemic analgesia for femoral fractures in the ED
Leonieke Groot, junior resident
4th Dutch North Sea Emergency Medicine Conference
Introduction:
Femoral fracture: high incidence 1:1000 (WFG 200/jr)
Traditional treatment: systemic opioids
Large potential for side effects: nausea, dizziness, urine retention, hypotension, respiratory depression, decreased mental state, delerium
Untreated or undertreated pain can increase delerium as well

PICO:
• P = patiënts with femoral fracture in the ED
I = regional block (fascia iliaca compartment block)
performed by Emergency Physicians or junior residents
C = systemic (traditional) analgesia with opioids
O = adequate analgesia and adverse effects/events
Fascia Iliaca Compartment Block:
• Fast and consistent blockade
• Simple and easy to learn and use
• Distant from nerves and blood vessels
• Without ultrasound guidance or nerve stimulator

52 articles; eight relevant; three best and most relevant articles.
Related articles: two relevant additional articles
Search strategy:
• Cochrane Library: one review which could not specifically answer our question
• EMBASE: no additional articles found
• BestBET’s: two relevant BET’s, did not specifically look at Emergency Physicians or junior residents performing this block
Conclusion:
• For the acute management of pain in patients with femoral fractures, FICB is rapidly effective and easily learned and performed by (junior) Emergency Department staff without reported adverse effects.
• FICB has the potential to reduce the reliance to opioids and their side effects, esspecially in a fragile group of patients.
• Level of recommendation: B.
Comments:
• Most of the studies were relatively small and not fully blinded
Clinical bottom line:
• In patients with femoral fracture, FICB can be safely performed by Emergency Physicians and junior residents in the ED
• FICB provides better pain relief and gives less adverse events than systemic opioids.
