This session will focus on nerve blocks for individuals with hip fracture, with discussion centered on two recent studies examining ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia in the emergency department:

• Lee JS, Chenkin J, Simard R, et al. Ultrasound-Guided Regional Anesthesia by Emergency Physicians for Hip Fractures and Delirium: A Randomized Clinical Trial. JAMA Network Open. 2025;8(12):e2549337. doi:10.1001/jamanetworkopen.2025.49337.
• Vijayan B, Ayyan M, Palaniappan P, et al. Efficacy of Ultrasound-Guided PENG Block for Acute Pain Relief in Adult Hip Fracture Patients: A Double-Blind Randomized Trial. Academic Emergency Medicine. doi:10.1111/acem.70206.

In addition to article discussion, we will have a presentation from Emergency Medicine ultrasound faculty reviewing practical considerations for ultrasound-guided nerve blocks for hip fractures.
