Comparative Study of Analgesia Produced by Thoracic Epidural and Intravenous Opioid in Cases of Multiple Rib Fracture
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
Thoracic trauma is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in our society. It ranks second only to head injury as a cause of traumatic death in USA. One of every four death resulting from trauma is attributable to a thoracic etiology. 1 Multiple rib fracture causes severe pain and is the most common of all chest injuries and is indentified in 10% of patients after trauma.3A The overall incidence may be higher as not all rib fractures are seen on chest x-ray or otherwise detected.
