Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame	Description
Post-operative Pain Relief	Twenty-four hours	Intensity of post-operative pain will be measured by a numerical scale from 0-10 by the patient
Surgical Anesthesia Sufficient	Thirty minutes	Sufficiency of surgical anesthesia will be determined by the presence of a complete sensory or motor block. If general anesthesia needs to be added to achieve operative analgesia, the surgical block will not be deemed sufficient.
