Numbing nerves instead of putting patients to sleep for safer amputations
NCT ID NCT03404180
Summary
This study tested whether using targeted nerve blocks with sedation is a safer and more effective way to manage pain during leg amputation surgery compared to general anesthesia. It focused on high-risk patients with conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and lung problems. Researchers numbed specific nerves in the leg to see if this could provide enough anesthesia for the surgery itself and lead to better pain control afterward.
