Brief summary
This is a retrospective chart review to determine the non-inferiority of performing lower extremity peripheral nerve block placement under spinal anesthesia compared to its pre-spinal counterpart.
Detailed description

Primary outcome: \- The investiigators will be looking into persistent abnormal neuropathic symptoms lasting more than 7 days following a sciatic popliteal nerve block.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Persistent Abnormal Neuropathic Symptoms | lasting more than 7 days following a sciatic popliteal nerve block | Definition of abnormal neuropathic symptoms including numbness, tingling, burning, or pain sensation. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| NRS pain scores in recovery | PACU recovery stay (up to 48 hours) | A score on a scale from 0 to 10 on how bad the pain is. 0 means no pain, 10 means worst pain. A lower score means a better outcome. |
| Amount of supplemental analgesic and antiemetic provided in the PACU | PACU recovery stay (up to 48 hours) | This includes: IV dilaudid push, oral oxycodone, tramadol, hydrocodone, dilaudid, acetaminophen, ketorolac, ondansetron, dexamethasone. |
| Anesthesia induction time | From the time which patients enter the OR to time of anesthesia induction end (up to 24 hours) | time from entering the OR to time of anesthesia induction end as defined by the completion of both the spinal and sciatic nerve blockade |
| Number of hypoxemia events during induction time | during induction time (up to 24 hours) | — |
| Amount of sedation given | during induction time (up to 24 hours) | fentanyl, ketamine, midazolam, propofol |
