Analgesic Efficacy of Serratus Anterior Plane Block in The Rib Fractures Pain

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.
