Summary
This is a prospective, randomized, non-blinded study comparing CINB plus medical therapy
versus standard medical care (non-steroidals and opioids intravenous/oral inpatient and oral
outpatient) alone for patients with multiple rib fractures. The objective of this study is to
analyze the effect of continuous intercostal nerve block (CINB) in the treatment of patients
admitted to the adult trauma service with rib fractures. The effectiveness of CINB as
adjunctive treatment will be compared to standard medical therapy involving nonsteroidal and
intravenous/oral opioid medications.
