| Popis: | There has been growing interest in the erector spinae block (ESB) for the management of rib fractures [1,2]. The ESB has been reported to provide effective analgesia with minimal complications, however their efficacy compared to other analgesic options is poorly understood [2]. This pilot study aimed to confirm the efficacy and safety of the ESB compared to opioid based analgesia, in order to justify future randomised controlled trials (RCTs). |
