Prolonged peridural analgesia relieves the pain and thanks to immediate return of ventilatory function avoids most complications of poor prognosis in mobile sternum. After a historical and pharmacological survey, the authors describe a standard technic, the course and the necessary supervision. The study of 29 cases of mobile sternum of variable gravity, treated in this way, permitted the authors to determine the indications and contra-indications and the role of associated treatments: physiotherapy, surgical fixation, respiratory assistance. The rare failures may benefit from another therapeutic method.
长时间硬膜外镇痛可缓解疼痛，并且由于通气功能立即恢复，可避免活动胸骨预后不良的大多数并发症。在进行历史和药理学调查后，作者描述了一种标准技术、治疗过程及必要的监测。对采用这种方法治疗的29例不同严重程度的活动胸骨病例进行研究后，作者得以确定适应症、禁忌症以及相关治疗（物理治疗、手术固定、呼吸辅助）的作用。罕见的治疗失败情况可能得益于另一种治疗方法。
