Brief summary

This proposal aims to measure the quality of recovery and quality of pain management after shoulder surgery before and after implementation of a multimodal pain protocol.

Detailed description

Pain management after shoulder surgery remains to be a major challenge. Reliance on a single agent (most commonly opioids) results in increased incidence of side effects. Multimodal pain management refers to the use of multiple drugs that target different components of pain pathway.

Interventions

COMBINATION_PRODUCTmultimodal perioperative pain protocol (MP3)

administration of gabapentionoid, acetaminophen, non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs around the clock in addition to the peripheral nerve block offered before surgery

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
QOR-924 hoursquality of recovery score using the QOR-9 instrument: it is a 9 item questionnaire with each question scoring from 0,1,2 with a total highest possible score of 18

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
quality of pain management24 and 48 hoursquality of pain management was measured using the revised american pain society patient oriented outcome questionnaire (APS-POQ-R). The questionnaire measures quality of pain management in 5 domains: 1- pain intensity 2- pain interference with activity and sleep 3- emotional side effects of uncontrolled pain ( affective scale). 4- patient perception of their pain management 5-side effects of pain treatment some questions answers are on a scale from 0-10. Ten is the maximum score and zero is the minimum score. other questions are listed as percentage with increments of 10% at a time (0%,10%, 20%, 30%..etc). each item/question is reported individually
