- Brief Summary
The management of analgesia is the key issue in the management of a thoracic trauma patient to prevent respiratory complications.
A multimodal approach is recommended but the question of the most suitable loco-regional analgesia technique remains. It must combine effectiveness and simplicity with the least risk to the patient. Today, epidural analgesia is the technique of choice, but it has certain disadvantages: difficulties in performing it at the thoracic level, undesirable effects, complications, and numerous contraindications.
The investigator propose to carry out a single-centre, prospective, randomised, controlled pilot study evaluating the impact of loco-regional analgesia following the placement of erector spinae plane catheter in addition to systemic analgesia in patients with unilateral thoracic trauma.
The aim is to demonstrate the effectiveness of this technique, which has fewer disadvantages than epidural analgesia. The interest of this study is thus to decrease the respiratory morbidity of thoracic trauma patients by avoiding a maximum of complications.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change in vital capacity between inclusion and 24 hours after inclusion. Inclusion and 24 hours after inclusion Vital capacity is the maximum amount of air that can be breathed in and out of the lungs in one breath. It is therefore a reflection of the thoracic expansion capacity. It is expressed as a percentage of the theoretical or predicted value, which is calculated from the patient's age, height, sex and ethnic group. It is measured with the CareFusion spirometer of the MIR department, inspiration must be maximal and expiration must last at least 6 seconds in theory (3 seconds tolerated by the spirometer). 2 measurements are made and the best of the 2 is chosen.
