description Thoracic trauma with rib fractures is a challenging condition due to the severe associated pain. Uncontrolled pain impairs breathing and an adequate pain control is necessary to provide comfort and to avoid further complications. Serratus Anterior Plane block is a procedure safe and easy to accomplish. The authors describe a case of thoracic trauma with rib fractures and respiratory compromise. Pain control was only achieved after performing a Serratus Anterior Plane block. The technique was done as described in the medical literature with placement of a catheter. Pain relief was achieved with a low concentration infusion of local anesthetic.
