Fascia iliac plane blocks: A review of different approaches, techniques, and success rates

ABSTRACT One useful regional anesthetic and analgesia approach for lower limb surgery has been marketed as the fascia iliaca compartment block. The real benefits of the fascia iliaca compartment block remain unclear despite a great deal of research being done on the subject. Recent studies in anatomy, radiology, and clinical medicine have illustrated the shortcomings of the groundbreaking infrainguinal procedure. This approach is still useful in circumstances where ultrasound is not possible because of a lack of resources. The advancement of ultrasound technology has led to the description of a novel suprainguinal fascia iliaca approach. According to studies, this method is more reliable than infrainguinal techniques at targeting the intended nerves. To ascertain its relevance in the clinical setting, further research is necessary.
