Implementation of a Pain Management Protocol for Total Knee Arthroplasty
Sponsor: Health Sciences North Research Institute
Summary
Study question: Is there an ideal combination of intraoperative long acting analgesics (periarticular infiltration (PI), femoral nerve block (FB) and intrathecal opioids (IO)) to optimize post-operative functional recovery, decrease overall narcotic consumption and enable faster 'readiness to discharge' for patients undergoing primary total knee replacement (TKR)?
Official title: An Analysis of the Functional Benefit, Narcotic Use and Time to Discharge Readiness Following the Implementation of a Comprehensive Pain Management Protocol for Primary Total Knee Arthroplasty
