Official title: Improvement in Total Hip Arthroplasty Patient Outcomes With Regional Anesthesia and Multimodal Analgesia: A Retrospective Analysis

The goal of this retrospective chart review is to evaluate if the implementation of lumbar plexus block placement for postoperative pain and administration of multimodal oral analgesia have improved conditions in the postoperative period for patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty when compared to the placement of epidurals for postoperative pain management.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Lumbar plexusPatients received a preoperative lumbar plexus nerve block (20 ml, ropivacaine 0.5%) for postoperative pain management with one to four multimodal oral pain medications (acetaminophen, celecoxib, oxycodone ER, gabapentin, pregabalin) administered preoperatively or in the first 48 hours postoperatively.
Lumbar EpiduralPatients received a lumbar epidural preoperatively for postoperative pain management. Epidural infusions of ropivacaine 0.2% were initiated intraoperatively, administered until the morning of postoperative day 1, and titrated to patient comfort.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Opiate Consumption

    Cumulative 48 Hours Opiate Consumption in Intravenous (IV) Morphine mg Equivalents (MME)
