Researchers watch and learn: do nerve blocks protect lungs after big surgery?
NCT ID NCT07394816
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study watches 500 adults aged 65 and older who are having major abdominal surgery. It compares those who get an ultrasound-guided nerve block for pain relief to those who get standard pain management. The goal is to see if the nerve block group has fewer lung complications within the first week after surgery. No new treatments are given—the study just observes what happens in regular hospital care.
