Nerve blocks tested as safer alternative for High-Risk amputation patients
NCT ID NCT03404180
Summary
This study tested whether using targeted nerve blocks with sedation is a safer and more effective way to control pain during leg amputation surgery compared to general anesthesia. It focused on high-risk patients with conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and lung disease. The goal was to see if this approach could provide enough pain relief for the surgery itself and improve recovery afterward.
