Abstract

The article focuses on comparative studies of regional anesthesia techniques for postoperative pain management in orthopedic and obstetric surgeries. It reports that the Pericapsular Nerve Group (PENG) block is comparable to femoral nerve block for pain control after hip fracture surgery, with no significant differences in pain scores or analgesic consumption. In total knee replacement, continuous epidural analgesia provides superior pain relief compared to continuous femoral nerve block (CFNB) and continuous adductor canal block (ACB), though CFNB and ACB allow better postoperative ambulation and fewer complications. Additionally, a sub-anesthetic dose of intravenous ketamine (0.5 mg/kg) during cesarean section spinal anesthesia does not prevent hypotension but reduces the total dose of ephedrine required, with no adverse neonatal effects observed.
