The ALOFT Pilot Trial (NCT06067789)
Anesthesia for Lower Limb Revascularization to Optimize Functional ouTcomes
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The ALOFT Pilot Trial will evaluate three pragmatic elements (recruitment, adherence, and follow-up) of neuraxial versus general anesthesia for lower limb revascularization surgery that are necessary to support a successful, large-scale evaluation. We will concurrently use implementation science methodology to further refine processes for the larger trial. The future full ALOFT trial will be designed to evaluate the comparative effectiveness of two different anesthesia types for improving outcomes.
