Serratus Anterior Plane Block , Paravertebral Block and Quality of Analgesia in Patients With Blunt Chest Trauma

NCT03890757 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 24

Last updated 2019-03-26

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Pain associated with rib movement cause inability to cough and breathe deeply that leads to reduction in the tidal volume and predisposes to significant atelectasis, sputum retention, pneumonia and a reduction in functional residual capacity .These factors in turn lead to decreased lung compliance, ventilation perfusion mismatch, hypoxemia and respiratory distress. Therefore, effective pain relief remains the cornerstone of management to prevent serious respiratory complications .

Conditions

  • Analgesia

Interventions

OTHER

ultrasound guided paravertebral or serratus anterior block

Patients groups will be as follow: Group (I): Serratus plane block will be performed with the patient in the lateral position and the arm abducted. Using a high-frequency linear ultrasound probe ,Group (II): thoracic paravertebral block will be performed in the sitting position. The spinal level chosen for needle insertion will be two segments below the upper most fractured rib or midway between the upper most and lowest fractured rib, 2-2.5 cm distance from the midline in the same injury site
