Ultrasound-Guided Suprainguinal Fascia Iliaca Block as Part of Anesthesia Management for Lower Extremity Surgeries: A Single-Center Retrospective Cohort Feasibility Study

Study objective The ultrasound-guided (US-guided) suprainguinal fascia iliaca block (SIFIB) is a regional anesthesia procedure that targets the lumbar plexus. It offers versatility in clinical practice, serving as both a standalone method for adequate pain management and a primary anesthesia option....

description Study objective The ultrasound-guided (US-guided) suprainguinal fascia iliaca block (SIFIB) is a regional anesthesia procedure that targets the lumbar plexus. It offers versatility in clinical practice, serving as both a standalone method for adequate pain management and a primary anesthesia option. Our aim was to present clinical insights gained from the application of US-guided SIFIB, whether as a standalone procedure or in conjunction with another block, across various clinical indications for lower extremity surgeries. Methodology Our study is a retrospective cohort analysis designed to identify cases in which the SIFIB was used as a component of the main anesthetic method and to determine the success of the anesthetic method in patients undergoing lower extremity surgery between March 2022 and March 2023 in a tertiary hospital. Data such as block success, perioperative additional analgesic need, patients' demographic details, and block characteristics were obtained from electronic and paper-based patient records and analyzed. Main results  We analyzed data from 16 patients who underwent lower extremity surgeries under SIFIB. Among these, 10 patients received SIFIB as their sole anesthesia method, while six underwent surgery with a combination of sciatic block and SIFIB. Briefly, the types of surgery were amputations, soft tissue excision, revision of knee prostheses, excision of knee tumors, patella implant removal, patellar ligament repair, patellar fracture repair, distal femur fractures (internal fixation), and vascular surgery. Six patients necessitated additional analgesics. No statistically significant differences were observed in demographic details, block onset time, and surgical duration between patients requiring and not requiring sedoanalgesia during surgery (p>0.05). Conclusion For patients planning lower extremity surgery, considering SIFIB alone or combined with a sciatic block as part of anesthesia management is a valid option, offering an alternative to a lumbar plexus block.
