The Femoral Nerve Block Setting the Agenda for Nursing Care of Older Patients With hip Fractures—A Qualitative Study [PDF]
Introduction Hip fractures among older people are common worldwide, and it is often associated with preoperative pain. Due to increased comorbidity and high age, traditional pain relief can be a challenge.

An Approach to Posterior Femoral Cutaneous Nerve Block [PDF]
An approach to blocking the posterior femoral cutaneous nerve at the point where its branches emerge from below the medial border of gluteus maximus is described. This is located by inserting the needle at a point one quarter of the distance from the ischial tuberosity to the greater trochanter in the gluteal fold and then feeling two distinct losses ...

Changes in the tumor necrosis factor-α level after an ultrasound-guided femoral nerve block in elderly patients with a hip fracture [PDF]
Background and objectives: An ultrasound guided femoral nerve block is an established analgesic method in patients with a hip fracture. Elevated cytokine levels correlate with poor patient outcomes after surgery.
