Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
•To measure and compare the total duration taken for positioning till completion of neuraxial block to evaluate ease of execution and NPRS scoring  Baseline, 30mins 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
To observe numerical pain rating scale (NPRS) score, before and after intervention (PENG block/IV opioid) and during positioning for spinal anaesthesia and compare the outcome of the cases with that of control group  Perioperative 
To measure and compare the total duration taken for positioning till completion of neuraxial block to evaluate ease of execution.  Perioperative 
To study whether preoperative PENG block has any influence on post operative analgesia by noting time for first demand of analgesia after completion of surgery  24-48 hours 
To observe the hemodynamic changes from baseline till execution of neuraxial block in both the study and the control group and compare  Perioperative

Brief Summary   This study is a prospective randomized controlled study, double blind, trial comparing ultrasound guided pericapsular nerve group block with 0.25% ropivacaine and intravenous fentanyl for ease of positioning to administering neuraxial block  and pain relief with patients undergoing hip fracture surgeries which will be conducted in Jaipur Golden Hospital in India.
The primary outcome is to measure and compare the total duration taken for positioning till completion of neuraxial block to evaluate ease of execution and NPRS scores. The secondary outcome Duration of postoperative analgesia by noting the time for first demand of analgesia after completion of surgery
