Summary
This study compares two pain management methods for people with broken ribs: a continuous IV lidocaine infusion (current standard) and a newer nerve block called the erector spinae plane block (ESPB). The goal is to see which provides better pain control and helps patients breathe more easily. The study was planned for adults with two or more broken ribs but was withdrawn before enrolling anyone.
