Yet, these methods have notable drawbacks: opioids carry risks of addiction and adverse side effects (e.g., nausea\u002Fvomiting, respiratory depression, delirium), while procedural sedation is time-intensive, requires monitoring, and carries risks of complications such as apnea and hypotension.\\[3\\] Local anesthetic infiltration for pain management can also fail to effectively and evenly target the intercostal nerves responsible for chest wall sensation.\\[4\\] Ultrasound-guided fascial plane blocks (erector spinae plane and serratus plane blocks) have recently been proposed as targeted alternatives for reliable and extended pain control of tube thoracostomy as each block produces a unique distribution of anesthesia. \\[5\\] Despite establishing of these techniques for pain control during thoracic surgeries, its application in emergency settings for tube thoracostomy is underexplored enough yet \\[6\\], a gap explicitly identified in the recent literature.\\[4\\] Therefore, in this study we evaluate the impact of ESP and SAP block for pain management and overall quality of recovery which practically performed by emergency physicians.",[26,27,28],"Thoracostomy Pain Management","Pain Management","Chest Tube Insertion",[30,31,32],"tube thoracostomy","pain control","pain managment","NOT_YET_RECRUITING","2026-09-11",{"date":36,"type":37},"2026-09-17","ACTUAL",{"date":39,"type":20},"2027-06-01",{"date":41,"type":20},"2029-12-30",{"name":43,"class":44},"Assiut University","OTHER"]
