This study looks at whether a specific nerve block, called the Serratus Posterior Superior Intercostal Plane Block, can reduce pain and the need for strong painkillers after anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) surgery. Researchers will compare outcomes between patients…

This study looks at whether measuring the airway with ultrasound before surgery can help predict if placing a breathing tube using a video laryngoscope will be difficult. Researchers will compare ultrasound measurements to a standard difficulty score in 100 adults aged 18 to 80 u…

This study compares two supraglottic airway devices — the i-gel and the SaCoVLM — in adults having elective laparoscopic gallbladder removal. Researchers will measure how well each device seals the airway, how easily it is inserted, and any complications. The goal is to see which…

This study looks at whether ultrasound measurements of the airway can help predict which children will have a difficult time with breathing tube placement during surgery. Researchers will compare ultrasound images to a standard scoring system in 70 children aged 1-18. If ultrasou…

This study looks at two types of nerve blocks—TAP and rectus sheath—used to manage pain after a hysterectomy through a bikini-line cut. Researchers will measure how much of the incision each block numbs and compare pain scores and morphine use. About 30 women having planned surge…

This study will compare two common airway devices used during elective surgery: the video laryngeal mask airway and the video laryngoscope. Researchers will measure how long it takes to place a breathing tube and how often it works on the first try. About 176 adults having planne…
