【 摘 要 】

Background & objective: Spinal anesthesia (SA) is preferred for fractured femur surgery but it requires proper positioning which is often very difficult to achieve due to pain. Different methods have been used to control the pain during patient positioning, but the results are inconsistent about the superiority of one over the other. We compared femoral nerve block (FNB) and intravenous ketamine for pain control during positioning for SA in elderly patients with femur fracture.
