EDU-RAPID Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: U/S Guided Regional AnesthesiaExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Fascia-Iliaca Block(FIB) Femoral Nerve Block(FNB) All participating emergency physicians (EPs) will be randomly assigned to the order they receive training in a stepped wedge design. Thus all EPs will begin the trial as "control physicians". EPs will then be trained to use two approaches to ultrasound (U/S) guided regional anesthesia, the fascia iliaca and femoral nerve blocks. Which block that will be used will be randomly determined at the individual patient level
Group II: Current Local Standard AnalgesiaActive Control1 Intervention
All participating emergency physicians (EPs) will be randomly assigned to the order they receive training in a stepped wedge design. Thus all EPs will begin the trial as "control physicians". Physicians who are in the control group will provide current local standard of analgesic care for hip fracture patients such as the use of IV opiods with supplemental acetaminophen and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents until they receive training.
