Individual Participant Data (IPD) Sharing Statement

Will individual participant data (IPD) be shared publicly (including data dictionaries)?  

Brief Summary   Multiple fractured ribs (MFRs) pain is debilitating and difficult to manage. Opioids were considered mainstay but results in severe side effects.  Multi-modal pain management is a current standard practice in which erector spinae plane block (ESPB) and serratus anterior plane block (SAPB)  have shown effective role. However, we do not know that which is more efficacious as there is no comparison of these two techniques. Therefore, we wish to conduct a pilot study to compare the relative effectiveness of each technique and safety. We have a plan to do 10 cases with each technique and compare them. All patients will receive  ultrasound guided block (ESPB=10 patients, SAPB=10 patients) with 20 ml 0.25% bupivacaine  followed by an infusion of 0.1% bupivacaine + fentanyl 1mic/ml @ 6ml/hr through volumeric pump. PIC (Pain -inspiratory capacity-cough) will be assessed and will be compared. The target will be to keep PIC score more than 8/10.The amount of rescue medication will recorded and compared. Any complication during block or during treatment period will also be recorded and compared.
