For researchers submitting trial data to ClinicalTrials.gov, the Adverse Events module is one of four mandatory results sections. It requires reporting in three primary categories: All-Cause Mortality: A table tracking all deaths that occurred during the study, regardless of cause. Serious Adverse Events (SAEs): A tabular summary of events resulting in death, life-threatening conditions, hospitalization, or significant disability. Other Adverse Events: A table for non-serious events that exceed a specific frequency threshold, such as 5% within any study arm.
Adverse Events Module path is as follows:
Study -> Results Section -> Adverse Events Module -> Event Groups
Study -> Results Section -> Adverse Events Module -> Serious Events
Study -> Results Section -> Adverse Events Module -> Other Events

| Controls | Subjects enrolled in this group will only have a line drawn on the side of their neck for superficial cervical plexus block, but we will not perform the injection. The subjects will not be aware whether they received an intra-operative block or not. In addition, neither the Post-Anesthesia Care Unit nurse nor the providers involved in the post-operative care will be aware of subjects group assignment. | None | None | 0 | 5 | 0 | 5 | View |
| Superficial Cervical Plexus Block | Subjects enrolled in this group will have a line drawn and will receive a superficial cervical plexus block at the end of the surgery just prior to emergence from anesthesia. Superficial Cervical Plexus Block: At the end of the lung surgery while subjects are still under general anesthesia, one of the investigators will perform superficial cervical plexus. First, a line extending from the mastoid process to C6 transverse process is drawn. The site of needle insertion is marked at the midpoint of the line connecting the mastoid process with Chassaignac's tubercle of C6 transverse process. After skin cleansing with chlorhexidine prep, using a "fan" technique with superior-inferior needle redirections, 15 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine will be injected alongside the posterior border of the sternocleidomastoid muscle 2-3 cm below and above the needle insertion site. Bupivacaine: Single dose of 37.5 mg of bupivacaine subcutaneously | None | None | 0 | 5 | 0 | 5 | View |
