Ultrasound Guided Serratus Anterior Plane Block in ED Patients With Rib Fractures

Ultrasound Guided Serratus Anterior Plane Block in ED Patients With Rib Fractures,

NCT06299137•Rhode Island Hospital

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effectiveness of the Serratus Anterior Plane Block in patients with rib fractures. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Determine if UG-SAPB results in an improved pain, incentive spirometry, and cough ability (PIC) score when compared to usual care over the first five hours. * Evaluate if UG-SAPB results in fewer opioid medications administered when compared to usual care over the first 24 hours. Participants will undergo the Serratus Anterior Plane. Researchers will compare this to usual care to see if this intervention improves pulmonary function and reduces opioid requirements for ED patients with rib fractures.
