Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Fascia Iliaca Compartment Block  Group F will receive ultrasound guided FICB block(In supine position, under all aseptic technique a high frequency linear probe will be placed in the inguinal crease. Scan starting laterally from the femoral artery and nerve in inguinal crease to identify the Sartorius muscle, tracing the muscle until it’s origin to anterior superior iliac spine. The shadow of the bony of iliac crest and iliacus muscle will be seen, the end point of the injection is deep to the fascia iliaca and above the iliacus muscle in the lateral part of the iliacus muscle. After negative aspiration, 30 mL of 0.25% of levobupivacaine will be injected under the fascial plane incrementally, aspirating every 5 ml.) and 20 minutes later they will be placed in sitting position for the performance of subarachnoid block.Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) will be assessed and noted using a standard 10 cm VAS with 0 corresponding to no pain and 10 designating the worst possible pain before the block, 20 minutes after the block and during positioning for subarachnoid block (Approx . 30 min. after block). 
Intervention  Pericapsular nerve group block   Group P will be receiving ultrasound guided PENG block(A curvilinear ultrasound probe will be initially placed in the transverse plane over the Anterior inferior iliac spine and then aligned with the pubic ramus by rotating the probe counterclockwise approximately 45 degrees. In this view the Iliopubic eminence, the iliopsoas muscle and tendon, the femoral artery and pectineus muscle will be observed. A 22-gauge, 80-mm sonoplex needle will be inserted from lateral to medial in an in-plane approach to place the tip in the musculofascial plane between the psoas tendon anteriorly and the pubic ramus posteriorly.30 ml of levobupivacaine 0.25% will be injected in 5-mL increments) and 20 minutes later they will be placed in sitting position for the performance of subarachnoid block.Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) will be assessed and noted using a standard 10 cm VAS with 0 corresponding to no pain and 10 designating the worst possible pain before the block, 20 minutes after the block and during positioning for subarachnoid block (Approx . 30 min. after block).

Brief Summary   Positioning for spinal anaesthesia can be extremely painful and cause sympathetic activation and major distress that may compromise high risk cardiac patients. Effective management of pain is important for patient comfort and easier performance of central neuraxial blockade. Various blocks have been used like classical femoral nerve blocks, 3 in 1 block and fascia iliaca compartment block to serve this purpose. 
But none of the blocks covers obturator nerve in the procedure. Pericapsular nerve group block (PENG) is a recently used block for the same purpose with additional advantage of covering the articular branches of hip. 
This study is based on the hypothesis that PENG block should be more effective in reducing pain associated with positioning for spinal anaesthesia in paitents undergoing surgery for proximal femur fracture as compared to fascia iliaca compartment block.
