Background: Pain associated with chest wall trauma is a major issue in the emergency department

(ED). However, it may be challenging to select among the various analgesic procedures.
Objective: Our aim was to compare single-shot erector spinae plane block (ESPB) with intercostal Abstract
nerve block (ICNB) under ultrasound guidance for pain management in thoracic trauma.

Results: Twenty-seven patients in the ESPB and 23 in the ICNB groups were enrolled. Mean values Associated data
of NRS 0, 20, 60, and disp for the ESPB vs. ICNB groups were 8.0 vs. 7.4, 5.2 vs. 6.1, 4.1 vs. 5.4, and
4.3 vs. 5.8, respectively (p = 0.07, p = 0.04, p = 0.001, and p < 0.001, respectively). Four patients in Related information
the ESPB and 8 patients in the ICNB groups required administration of adjunctive doses of fentanyl

Conclusions: Ultrasound-guided ESPB was superior to ICNB regarding pain control during the ED
stay period of patients with painful chest wall trauma. We recommend ESPB in the ED for pain
control in blunt or penetrating thoracic trauma.
