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

| Opioid-free Anesthesia | Patients in this arm will not receiving opioids but the total intravenous anesthetic during surgery. Patients in this group will receive an infusion of lidocaine, ketamine, or dexmedetomidine supplemented with other intravenous analgesics and intravenous and inhaled anesthetics. Dexmedetomidine / Ketamine / Lidocaine: Patients in this group will receive an infusion of lidocaine, ketamine, or dexmedetomidine supplemented with other intravenous analgesics and intravenous and inhaled anesthetics, as needed clinically. This includes administration of 5 mcg/kg/min of ketamine plus 0.5 - 1.0 µg/kg/hr of dexmedetomidine (Precedex) as a continuous infusion, started from induction to stop one hour before surgery is anticipated to end. | 0 | None | 0 | 30 | 9 | 30 | View |
