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

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. 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

MeasureTime frameDescription
Persistent Abnormal Neuropathic Symptomslasting more than 7 days following a sciatic popliteal nerve blockDefinition of abnormal neuropathic symptoms including numbness, tingling, burning, or pain sensation.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
NRS pain scores in recoveryPACU 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 PACUPACU recovery stay (up to 48 hours)This includes: IV dilaudid push, oral oxycodone, tramadol, hydrocodone, dilaudid, acetaminophen, ketorolac, ondansetron, dexamethasone.
Anesthesia induction timeFrom 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 timeduring induction time (up to 24 hours)
Amount of sedation givenduring induction time (up to 24 hours)fentanyl, ketamine, midazolam, propofol
