Brief Summary  
Anaesthetists have sought strategies to extend the benefits of single-shot
peripheral nerve blocks beyond the duration of commonly available
local anaesthetics (LA).Dexmedetomidine, an alpha-2 agonist, has been
proposed as a safe and effective adjunct capable of extending the
duration of single-shot block.Hyperpolarization-activated cation
currents normally bring neurons back to the resting potential and normal
functional activity during the refractory phase in an action potential. By
blocking these currents, dexmedetomidine can accentuate inhibition of
neuronal conduction and produce analgesia.
Severe pain is associated with proximal femur fracture .Use of regional
anesthesia (RA) has been associated with reduced opioid consumption
in postoperative period, thereby enabling early mobilization and fewer
opioid related side effects.Some case series and randomized control
studies suggest PENG block as an effective alternative to femoral nerve
block and fascia iliaca block for femur fracture pain relief.
However, there is no RCT comparing the analgesic effect of
Dexmedetomidine and Bupivacaine compared to Bupivacaine alone in
the PENG block
