Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to determine if the addition of an ultrasound guided left sided stellate ganglion block with bupivacaine in patients undergoing esophagectomy, pneumonectomy, or lobectomy will result in lower rates of postoperative atrial fibrillation as compared to standard of care.
