Fulltext PDFThe serratus anterior plane block (SAPB) has gained recognition as an effective regional anaesthesia technique for managing postoperative and traumatic pain associated with procedures involving the chest wall, including breast surgeries, thoracotomies, and rib fractures. It works by anesthetizing the lateral cutaneous branches of the intercostal nerves, offering significant pain relief while minimizing the need for systemic opioids. Although SAPB is widely used in various thoracic and upper abdominal conditions, its application in burn-related pain management remains limited. In this case report, we discuss a case of deep partial thickness burn injury over the chest wall region using SAPB for pain relief. The use of this technique contributed to improved pain control, facilitated respiratory effort, and enhanced overall patient comfort during the acute phase of burn injury management.
