Clinical Trial Summary

Patients with ipsilateral multiple rib fractures will be randomized to receive either a single-shot ultrasound-guided serratus plane block, or a continuous serratus plane block within 24h from the chest trauma. Primary outcome is the difference in forced respiratory volume (FEV1) at 72h.


Clinical Trial Description

Patients admitted in emergency department with a chest trauma and ipsilateral multiple rib fractures, will be randomized as described above. All patients will receive the serratus block with a ropivacaine 0.37% solution 20 ml. Then, they will randomized to receive either a peripheral catheter placed above the 5th rib on the middle axillary line, or nothing. In all patients postoperative analgesia also include Paracetamol 1g IV each 6h and a patient controlled analgesia (PCA) of morphine set out as follow: bolus 1 mg, loch out 15 min, max 4 boluses each hour. In all patients an arterial blood sample for gas analysis and a FEV1 will be achieved before the block, after 1 hour and at 72h. ;
