Abstract
- Pain relief becomes a major concern when treating patients with rib fractures so adequate ventilation must be maintained. Many techniques have been described for the management of frectured ribs, including systemic analgesics, intercostal nerve blockade, intrathecal morphine, epidural bupivacaine and epidural morphine. This case report illustrates the successful use of epidural narcotics in a patient with multiple fractured ribs.
