GASALLA CADORNIGA, A M et al. Continuous analgesic control in a patient with multiple rib fractures by placing a catheter in the deep plane of the erector muscle of the spine. Rev. Soc. Esp. Dolor [online]. 2020, vol.27, n.4, pp.269-272.  Epub Oct 13, 2020. ISSN 1134-8046.  https://dx.doi.org/10.20986/resed.2020.3800/2020.

Rib fractures have a high prevalence in our society.

An adequate and precocious analgesic control is essential to avoid respiratory complications and favor a rapid functional recovery in patients with rib fractures.

Different strategies have been used for analgesic control, from intravenous drugs to more classic regional techniques such as epidural catheter or thoracic paravertebral block.

Ultrasound-guided blockade of the deep plane of the erector spine muscle (ESPB) is an effective alternative in the management of acute pain derived from rib fractures, allowing physiotherapy and early rehabilitation.

Keywords : Rib fracturas; Block the deep plane of the erector muscle of the spine; Neural blocks intervencionism ultrasound; Patient control analgesia.
