Effects of Continuous Iliofascial Space Analgesia on Sleep Quality and Cognitive Function in Elderly Patients After Hip Surgery

Objective: To investigate the effects of continuous iliac fascia space analgesia on sleep quality and cognitive function in elderly patients after hip surgery. Methods: A total of 60 elderly patients with hip operations admitted to our hospital from April 2021 to October 2023 were randomly divided into a study group and a control group with 30 cases in each group. The study group received continuous iliac fascia space analgesia, and the control group received routine analgesia. Perioperative pain status, sleep quality, and cognitive function were evaluated and compared between the two groups. Results: The VAS score of the study group at 6h, 24h, and 48h after surgery was lower than that of the control group; the PSQI score of the study group at 1d, 3d, and 5d after surgery was lower than that of the control group; MoCA score of the study group at 1d, 3d and 5d after surgery was higher than that of the control group, with statistical significance (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Continuous iliofascial space analgesia in elderly patients undergoing hip surgery can improve early postoperative pain, and improve postoperative sleep quality, and cognitive function.
