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

| General Endotracheal Anesthesia | Standard care general endotracheal anesthesia General endotracheal anesthesia: General Anesthesia Patients randomized to receive general anesthesia induction of anesthesia with intravenous lidocaine, propofol, fentanyl citrate and vecuronium or cisatracurium, following dosing guidelines defined by protocol. Following tracheal intubation, anesthesia will be maintained with sevoflurane in oxygen and air as defined by protocol. End-tidal gas monitoring (for carbon dioxide and sevoflurane) and maintenance, monitoring, and reversal of neuromuscular blockade will be as per HUP and PPMC routine. Immediate postoperative analgesia will be via IV dilaudid dosed intraoperatively as defined by protocol. | 0 | None | 1 | 6 | 0 | 6 | View |
| Regional (Spinal) Anesthesia | Standard care spinal anesthesia Regional (spinal) Anesthesia: Patients randomized to receive spinal anesthesia will undergo spinal blockade using standard techniques and medications dosed as per protocol, and will include hyperbaric bupivicaine or tetracaine, fentanyl citrate, and epinephrine; algorithms for management of spinal-related hypotension will be defined by protocol. Intraoperative sedation will be achieved via continuous intravenous propofol infusion; supplemental oxygen will be provided by nasal cannula or facemask as needed. Propofol dose will be titrated to achieve light to moderate sedation, defined as a Richmond Agitation/Sedation Scale (RASS) score of -1 to -318. In the event of block failure induction and maintenance of general endotracheal anesthesia will occur via the procedures outlined above. For all patients, post-operative pain management will be via hydromorphone PCA or PRN hydromorphone bolus, followed by oral oxycodone and acetaminophen. | 0 | None | 0 | 6 | 0 | 6 | View |
