While it has traditionally been inserted by medical doctors, no evidence exists comparing the effectiveness and safety of FIB insertion by nurses compared with doctors.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Design<\/jats:title><jats:p>A prospective cohort study.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>The study was conducted in an Australian metropolitan ED. Patients admitted to the ED with suspected or confirmed fractured neck of femur had a FIB inserted under ultrasound guidance by either a trained emergency nurse or doctor. A retrospective medical record audit was undertaken of consecutive ED patients presenting between January 2013\u2013December 2017. Reporting of this study followed the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology guidelines for cohort studies.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Of the 472 patients eligible for a FIB, 322 (68%) had one inserted. A majority were inserted by doctors (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a0207, 64.3%) with 22.4% (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a072) by nurses and in 13.3% (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a043) of patients the clinician was not documented. There were no differences between the nurse\u2010inserted and doctor\u2010inserted groups for mean pain scores 1\u00a0hr post\u2010FIB insertion; clinically significant reduction (\u226530%) in pain score 1\u00a0hr post\u2010FIB insertion; pain score 4\u00a0hr post\u2010FIB insertion; delirium incidence; opioid use post\u2010FIB insertion; or time to FIB insertion. No adverse events were identified in either group.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Insertion of FIBs by trained emergency nurses is as effective and safe as insertion by doctors in patients with fractured neck of femur in the ED.
