This trial compares two types of nerve blocks—erector spinae plane block and external oblique-intercostal plane block—for pain relief after open ventral hernia repair. Fifty adults scheduled for surgery will receive one of the two blocks, and researchers will measure how much ext…

This study will test 33 anesthesiology residents to see how their prior experience and the type of laryngoscope (video vs. direct) affect their ability to correctly place a double-lumen tube, a challenging breathing tube used in lung surgery. Participants will practice on a manik…

This study will observe 300 adults scheduled for a lung biopsy (EBUS-TBNA) to see if the size of their windpipe, measured by ultrasound before the procedure, can predict dangerous drops in oxygen levels. The procedure is done under sedation, and low oxygen is a known risk. The go…

This observational study will look at 84 people having gallbladder surgery to see how two different anesthesia methods affect brain oxygen levels and recovery. One method uses desflurane gas plus remifentanyl, the other uses propofol plus remifentanyl. The study does not test new…

This study will observe 51 adults undergoing lung surgery that requires one lung to be deflated. Researchers want to see if a non-invasive oxygen monitor (placed on the skin) can give the same information as a blood test about how well the lungs are working. No extra treatments o…

This study looks at 30 older adults (65+) having lung surgery with one-lung ventilation. Researchers will measure brain oxygen levels during surgery and test thinking and pain afterward. The goal is to see if low brain oxygen is linked to confusion and worse pain, which could hel…

This study will track opioid use in 35 adults undergoing thoracotomy (chest surgery) to see how much pain medication they need and what factors affect their pain. Researchers will also look at how opioid use relates to complications and hospital stay length. The goal is to better…
