Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Group B:Fascia iliaca compartment block with Inj Bupivacaine 0.25% 35ml  In USG guided, Fascia iliac compartment block technique, identify the femoral artery and iliopsoas muscle and fascia iliaca. The transducer is moved laterally untill the sartorius muscle is identified. after a skin wheal is made, the needle is inserted in-plane. As the needle passes through fascia iliaca, the fascia is first seen idented by the needle. As the needle eventually pierces the fascia, a pop may be felt, and the fascia may be seen to snap back on the US image. After negative aspiration, 1-2 ml of local anesthetic is injected to confirm the proper injection plane between the fascia and iliopsoas of the muscle.proper injection will result in the separation of the fascia iliaca by the local anesthetic in the medial-lateral direction from the point of injection.Drug will be given.Total duration of therapy for 24 hrs . 
Intervention  Group B:Lumbar Erector Spinae Plane block with Inj Bupivacaine 0.25% 35 ml  The 4th lumbar vertebral level will be determined using the conventional method. The convex USG transducer will be placed at the mid-vertebral line in the sagittal plane. Transducer will be shifted from the midline, 3.5- 4 cm laterally to the side of the surgery to visualize the erector spinae muscle and transverse process. Using the in plane technique a 22 G/100 mm block needle will be advanced until it reaches the transverse process. 0.5-1 ml of saline solution administeration leading to hydrodissection to confirm location. The needle will be repositioned by pulling back a few millimeters if resistance occurred when administering saline. 0.25% Bupivacaine will be administered to this location between the transverse process and the erector spinae muscle.Total duration of therapy for 24 hrs.

Response - NO
Brief Summary   This study aims to compare the effects of ultrasound-guided Lumbar erector spinae plane block versus ultrasound-guided Fascia iliaca Compartment block for postoperative analgesia following femur surgeries. The two groups will be assessed in terms of efficacy of analgesia, as measured by a standardized pain assessment score. The requirement of rescue analgesia in the first 24hours and proportions of patients who requires will also be assessed. Nausea , vomiting and  residual motor weakness in both the groups will be recorded. We want to know if the Lumbar Erector Spinae  block provides as good or better postoperative analgesia than the Fascia Iliaca Compartment block as part of a multimodal analgesia for femoral surgeries.
