Brief Summary  

Ultrasound-guided Serratus Anterior Plane Block (SAPB) is a newer technique- regional anaesthetic technique first described in 2013 by Blanco and colleagues7 for surgery performed on the anterolateral chest wall, serratus plane blocks aim to provide anaesthesia of the hemithorax 

SAPB is a single shot block that is relatively easier to administer, does not require elaborate patient positioning , can be learnt easily and done in the emergency department and emergency operation theatres. 

Here we aim to use  SAPB to provide localised pain relief that can last for upto 48 hours. If given in the acute phase of pain, it can improve pulmonary function and provide excellent pain relief that may not be possible with other methods.
