Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Morphine equivalents administered within 24 hours after spinal administration | 24 hours | The total sum of opiates will be converted into morphine equivalents and compared between the groups for the first 24 hours after the spinal is administered. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Morphine Equivalents at 48 Hours | 48 hours | The total sum of opiates will be converted into morphine equivalents and compared between the groups for the first 48 hours after the spinal is administered. |
| Morphine Equivalents at 72 Hours | 72 hours | The total sum of opiates will be converted into morphine equivalents and compared between the groups for the first 72 hours after the spinal is administered. |
| Obstetric Quality of Recovery-10 (ObsQoR-10) Score | 24 hours, 48 hours, and 72 hours post spinal administration | Recovery score of the OBSQOR10 instrument at 24 hours, 48 hours, and 72 hours post spinal. Obstetric Quality of Recovery-10 (ObsQoR-10) is a 10-item instrument. Full scale is scored from 0-100 with higher score indicating better health outcomes. |
| Pruritus Scores PACU | during PACU stay, about 6 hours | Pruritus scores full scale scored from 1-5 with higher score indicating more pruritus. |
| Pruritus Scores POD1-3 | at 24 hours intervals for 72 hours | Pruritus scores full scale scored from 1-5 with higher score indicating more pruritus at 24 hour intervals for 3 days after spinal. |
| Floor Pain Scores over 24 hours | through 24 hours | Pain scores obtain by nursing team over the first 24 hours while on regular hospital floor. Pain scored from 0-10, with higher score indicating more pain. |
