What is being measured

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

  1. Initial Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) Pain Score Upon Arrival

    Pain is assessed on a scale of 0-10 (whole numbers). A score of 0 being no pain, 10 being maximum imaginable pain. Data collected upon arrival to Post-Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU).

    Measured: 2 hours

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Opioid Use in Recovery Room

    Opioid medication type and dose will be recorded and converted to milligram morphine equivalents. Outcome is reported as the total milligram morphine equivalents of opioid medication used in the recovery room.

    Measured: 2 hours

  2. OBAS Score

    Overall Benefit of Analgesic Score (OBAS) is a 7-item multi-dimensional survey that assesses analgesia benefits. Items are scored on a scale from 0 (minimal) to 4 (maximal). Total score is a sum of the 7 item scores with question 7 scored as 4 minus the patient reported number. Total scores range from 0 to 28 with lower scores representing greater benefit from analgesic therapy.

    Measured: 2 hours

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
