Clinical Trial Summary

Serratus Anterior Plane Block (SAPB) is a facial plane block that was first described by Blanco in 2013 and that blocks the lateral cutaneous branches of the T2-T9 intercostal nerves, the intercostobrachial nerve, n. thoracic longus, n. thoracodorsalis nerves. Case and case series have been reported in the literature on the use of SAPB in rib fractures, and it has been reported as an effective analgesia method. We apply SAPB to patients with rib fractures with pain in our clinic.

Our aim is to evaluate SAPB for patients with rib fractures pain and to compare them with the control group in terms of total analgesic consumption and pain scores.

Description:

After Ethics Committee approval patients with rib fracture pain and have a Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) score of ≥ 4, included the study. The patients were randomized by the closed envelope method. The patients were divided into two groups as the SAPB-performed group (Group S) and the Control group (Group K). Intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) device prepared with tramadol was applied to all patients.
