What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Time Until PACU Discharge in Minutes
Time Frame: Baseline up to 48 hrs postoperatively
|
Time from entrance into the PACU until PACU discharge criteria met
|
Baseline up to 48 hrs postoperatively
|
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Peak Block Height
Time Frame: Baseline up to 3 hours
|
Thoracic dermatome level as assessed by pinprick
|
Baseline up to 3 hours
|
Degree of Peak Motor Blockade by Modified Bromage Scale
Time Frame: Baseline up to 3 hours
|
Motor blockade will be determined by the patient's ability to lift her legs This is simple scale used to assess motor function in the patients' legs. A numerical value from 0 to 4 is assigned to visual inspection of how well the patient can move her legs. 0=ability to maintain a leg lift for prolonged periods; 1=ability to lift legs briefly; 2=ability to bend knees; 3=ability to wiggle toes; 4=no movement in legs. A score of 0 means complete movement (no blockade) in the legs, whereas a score of 4 means no movement (complete blockade) in the legs. |
Baseline up to 3 hours
|
Time Elapsed Until Motor Block Regresses to Modified Bromage Score = 0
Time Frame: Baseline up to 6 hours
|
Time until score of <2 reached on Modified Bromage scale This is simple scale used to assess motor function in the patients' legs. A numerical value from 0 to 4 is assigned to visual inspection of how well the patient can move her legs. 0=ability to maintain a leg lift for prolonged periods; 1=ability to lift legs briefly; 2=ability to bend knees; 3=ability to wiggle toes; 4=no movement in legs. A score of 0 means complete movement (no blockade) in the legs, whereas a score of 4 means no movement (complete blockade) in the legs. Once the patient received as score of 0, the time ended. Again, 0=ability to maintain a leg lift for prolonged periods. |
Baseline up to 6 hours
|
Quality of Block as Determined by Subjective Pain Assessment
Time Frame: Baseline up to 6 hours
|
Determined by any pain reported during surgery and/or the need to supplement through the epidural
|
Baseline up to 6 hours
|
Patient Satisfaction as Determined by a Likert-type Scale
Time Frame: At 6 hrs postoperatively
|
Patient satisfaction of a scale of 1-10 This scale is grade from 1 to 10 with 1 being "highly dissatisfied" with the anesthetic technique and 10 being "highly satisfied." Each patient was asked to rate their experience with the anesthetic technique provide. They could choose any number between 1 and 10. Numbers close to 10 represented a higher satisfaction with the anesthetic technique. |
At 6 hrs postoperatively
