Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change in pain as measured by the Visual Analog Scale (VAS)Over the first 7 days post operatively, measured every 6 hoursThe VAS is a scale from 0-10 with 0 being no pain and 10 being the worst pain ever
Change in number of narcotic medications consumed as measured by the medical record reviewOver the first 7 days post operatively, gathered every 6 hours.

Secondary
