Abstract :
Patients with lower limb fracture often have
acute pain and discomfort from changes in position, and
such pain affects early postoperative recovery. This
study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of ultrasonography
guided lumbar plexus block for postoperative analgesia
in lower limb surgeries. Total 50 ASA I &II, patients of
age between 25 to 70 years were included in this study.
All patient received 30 to 40ml inj. Bupivacaine 0.25%
for Lumbar plexus block under USG guidance, under all
aseptic precautions. In our study there were 48%
females and 52% males. Time taken to give block mean
20.6 ±1.41 min. All patients were given rescue analgesia
as per their threshold of tolerable pain at that time. Pain
is major cause of morbidity in patients undergoing
femur surgeries. It causes major discomfort and delays
recovery in these patients. Use of ultrasound for Lumbar
plexus block results in high success rate.
