Pain block may impact brain oxygen during One-Lung surgery
NCT ID NCT07432230
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 102 adults having chest surgery where only one lung is used for breathing. Researchers gave some patients a nerve block to reduce pain and measured brain oxygen levels. The goal was to see if the block changes brain oxygen during surgery.
