Brief summary

The aim of this project is to evaluate the efficacy of preoperative erector spinae blocks in arthroscopic hip surgery. This will be a prospective randomized controlled trial.

Detailed description

The aim of this project is to evaluate the efficacy of preoperative erector spinae blocks in arthroscopic hip surgery. This will be a prospective randomized controlled trial. The control group will not receive a preoperative block prior to surgery, but will receive local anesthetic at the surgical site at the conclusion of the surgery. The study group will receive a preoperative block and local anesthetic. The primary outcomes will be pain levels and opioid consumption in the post-operative care unit. The secondary outcomes will be pain levels and opioid consumption post-operatively, and functional outcome measures.

Masking description

Erector spinae block will be performed after general anesthesia has been induced. Patients will be unaware which arm of the study they are in.

Intervention model description

Patients will be randomized to either the study group or control group prior to undergoing surgery

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Post Anesthesia Care Unit Opioids6 hours post-operativelyTotal morphine milligram equivalents of administered in the post-operative care unit
Post Anesthesia Care Unit Pain6 hours post-operativelyVisual analogue pain score at the time of discharge from the Post Anesthesia Care Unit in which 0 equals no pain and 10 equals extreme pain

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Range Of Motion1 year post-operativelyHip range of motion in degrees of motion, will be examined by the operative surgeon in the office measured by flexion 0-110 degrees with 0 being no range of motion and 110 being full range of motion, internal rotation -5-25 degrees with -5 being no range of motion and -25 being full range of motion, and external rotation 0-60 degrees with 0 being no range of motion and 60 being full range of motion.
Hip disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score1 year post-operativelyHip disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome score at post-op visits in which 0 equals no pain and 100 equals unbearable pain
Outpatient Visual Analog Scale scores4 weeks post dischargePain scores each day for the first 4 weeks after surgery on the Visual Analog Scale in which 0 equals no pain and 10 equals unbearable pain
Outpatient Opioids4 weeks post dischargeOpioids consumed after discharge from hospital
Patient Reported Outcomes measurement Information System Score1 year post-operativelyPatient Reported Outcomes measurement Information System score at post-op visits in which 0 equals no pain and 10 equals extreme pain
