Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to determine if non-continuous local anesthetic fascia iliaca blocks performed in the emergency department are effective for preoperative analgesia in hip fracture patients. Investigators hypothesize that patients with these blocks will have lower opioid requirements than patients in a historical group in whom blocks were not performed.
