Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Total morphine consumption within 24 and 48 hours post-operatively measured using data collected from medical records at one timepoint

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Total fentanyl consumption intra-operatively measured using data collected from medical records at one timepoint 2. Pain scores measured using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) at rest and during cough at time points 1, 2, 6, 12, 24, 48, and 72 hours post-operatively 3. The level of dermatomal blockade and complications associated with the block techniques measured using data collected from medical records at one timepoint 4. Opioid-related side effects measured using data collected from medical records at one timepoint 5. Quality of recovery measured using the QoR-15 scale at baseline and 24 and 48 hours post-operatively
