Popis:	Rib fracture due to blunt chest trauma is a painful condition with high morbidity and mortality and it is two times prevalent among the elderly compared to young people. If adequate an analgesic treatment is not administered, respiratory complications, need for mechanical ventilation, and length of stay in intensive care unit may increase. Erector spinal plane (ESP) block is a regional unaesthetic method that can provide effective analgesia in the unilateral thoracic region. In this study, we present ESP block, which is used successfully in pain management of a critically ill old patient with multiple rib fractures.
