Clinical Trial Summary

The management of analgesia is the key issue in the management of a thoracic trauma patient to prevent respiratory complications. A multimodal approach is recommended but the question of the most suitable loco-regional analgesia technique remains. It must combine effectiveness and simplicity with the least risk to the patient. Today, epidural analgesia is the technique of choice, but it has certain disadvantages: difficulties in performing it at the thoracic level, undesirable effects, complications, and numerous contraindications. The investigator propose to carry out a single-centre, prospective, randomised, controlled pilot study evaluating the impact of loco-regional analgesia following the placement of erector spinae plane catheter in addition to systemic analgesia in patients with unilateral thoracic trauma. The aim is to demonstrate the effectiveness of this technique, which has fewer disadvantages than epidural analgesia. The interest of this study is thus to decrease the respiratory morbidity of thoracic trauma patients by avoiding a maximum of complications.
