Epidural Analgesia Versus IV Analgesia in Lumbar Spine Fusions
A Comparison of Epidural Analgesia With Standard Care Following Lumbar Spinal Fusion: A Prospective Randomized Study
- Protocol Title - A Comparison of Epidural Analgesia with Standard Care Following Lumbar Spinal Fusion: A Prospective Randomized Study
- Purpose of the Study - This prospective randomized study will enroll 200 patients undergoing elective Lumbar Spinal Fusion at Duke University Hospital. The primary objective is to determine the effect of epidural analgesia, as compared with standard care, on post-operative analgesia.
Hypothesis:
The investigators hypothesize that patients undergoing Lumbar Spinal Fusion surgery with epidural catheter placement will have superior post-operative analgesia compared to patients undergoing standard care.

Experimentell: Intravenous opioids
This is the standard of care method for post-operative analgesia following lumbar spine fusion surgery.
Participants randomly assigned to this arm will receive Intravenous Patient-Controlled Analgesia (IVPCA) with dilaudid (or other opioid) for post-operative pain control.
|
Patients in this arm will receive intravenous patient-controlled opioid analgesia (Dilaudid).
|
|
Experimentell: Epidural Catheter
The intervention to be tested in this study against standard intravenous opioids is infusion of local anesthetic and dilaudid via epidural catheter for post-operative pain control in patients undergoing lumbar spine fusion surgery.
|
Placement of an epidural catheter to administer local anesthetic and opioid (dilaudid) to the epidural space will be studied as compared to use of intravenous opioid (dilaudid) for pain control following lumbar spine fusion surgery.

Patient Satisfaction With Perioperative Analgesia
Tidsram: Post-operative Day 1
|
Patients will be assessed for satisfaction with their peri-operative analgesia in the recovery room and each day of their epidural infusion or intravenous opioid infusion by the Acute Pain Service, and at their surgical follow-up visit.
Likert scale ranges from 1 to 5 (1=very satisfied and 5=Very Dissatisfied).
