Podcast # 413: Fascia Iliaca Block

Author: Katie Sprinkle, MD

Educational Pearls:

  • The fascia iliaca block is useful for hip and proximal femur fractures.
  • Typically involves injecting 40-60 mL of diluted bupivacaine (0.25%) under the fascia iliaca (or other anesthetic)
  • Anesthesia is achieved of the femoral, obturator, and lateral femoral cutaneous nerves.
  • Monitor for signs of bupivacaine toxicity (paresthesias, AMS, seizures, arrhythmias)
  • Intralipid can be an effective treatment for life-threatening toxicity
