The deep serratus anterior plane block for intensive care management of rib fractures: a cadaveric study on spread patterns
The predictability of serratus anterior plane block efficacy may be compromised in the setting of rib fractures associated with blunt trauma due to variability in drug distribution. Given the small number of formalin-fixed cadavers used, these findings should be interpreted as preliminary anatomical observations requiring validation in fresh or Thiel-embalmed models.
