Comparator Agent  Ultrasound guided fascia iliaca compartment block using bupivacaine along with dexmedetomidine before spinal anaesthesia  Using a linear transducer probe over inguinal ligament in supine position, fascia iliaca plane identified and confirmed by hydro dissection. Total volume 28 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine + 50 mcg of dexmedetomidine in 2 ml of normal saline injected.Onset of effect defined time taken from injection of drug into fascia iliaca compartment till VAS score of ≤4. when the VAS score will be ≤4, patients will be given sitting position for spinal anaesthesia.

Brief Summary  



This study is randomised  prospective comparative clinical  study evaluate the addition of dexmedetomidine to bupivacaine in FICB to provide analgesia for positioning femur fracture patients before spinal anaesthesia   will lead to rapid achievement of  ease of positioning as well as prolonged duration of postoperative analgesia.


After pre aneasthestic evaluation and 6 -8 hours of fasting , informed written consent will be taken

from the patient .Then patient will be taken inside operation theatre , multipara monitors will be

attached and all baseline vital parameters and baseline VAS score will be recorded .Premedication and Adequate pre

loading will be done. 


Ultrasound-guided FICB is usually performed with the patient lying in the supine position. The Femoral artery is visualized by placing the transducer transversely on the inguinal crease, followed by slightly moving the probe either medially or laterally. The fascia iliacaplane which is hyper echoic is identified superficial to the hypo-echoic iliopsoas muscle. Medially in the fascia iliaca compartment , the femoral nerve is identified deep to the fascia and lateral to the Femoral artery.



Grouping of the patient : - The study population will be randomly allocated into two groups by computer generated random numbers.


Group B:- 28 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine+2 ml of normal saline in USG guided FICB

Group BD-: 28 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine+ 50  mcg of dexmedetomidine in 2 ml of normal saline in USG guided FICB 


Subarachnoid block will be given with 3 ml of 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine when the VAS score will be <4.


Following parameter will be recorded in both the group:


1) Visual analogue scale score at 5,10,15,20 minutes after FICB.


2) Ease of spinal positioning score 


3)patient acceptance score


4)Duration of analgesia


5)Number of rescue analgesic doses required in 24 hours
