New shoulder surgery block aims to ease breathing for patients with obesity
NCT ID NCT07216820
Summary
This study is testing whether a specific type of nerve block, designed to spare a breathing muscle, can lower the risk of early breathing problems after shoulder surgery in adults with obesity. Researchers will compare this new approach to the standard nerve block to see if it reduces breathlessness or the need for oxygen in recovery, while still providing good pain control. They will also check if a simple pre-surgery breathing test can help identify which patients are at higher risk for these problems.
