Comparison of thoracic epidural and thoracic erector spinae plane block for pain relief of posterolateral rib fractures—a retrospective cohort study

Abstract Background Pain from rib fractures (posterior/lateral/anterior) is associated with significant pulmonary morbidity. Earlier epidural and paravertebral blocks were implemented in the algorithm for multimodal pain management of rib fracture pain. Administration of these blocks are fraught wit...
