    24 hours

Secondary Outcomes (15)

  • Additional Post Op Pain

    6hrs, 12hrs, 2weeks, 2 months

  • Nausea

    2 Weeks

  • Constipation

    2 Weeks

  • Falls

    2 Weeks

  • Morphine Use

    In-hospital Stay

  • +10 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

Observational

NO INTERVENTION

The observational treatment group will not have any changes from your surgeon's normal pain management process. Anesthesia will be utilized in a routine fashion with all routine perioperative medications. You will be discharged on routine postoperative medications including opioids, NSAIDS, and any other modalities typically used by the treating surgeon.

Non-Opioid Intervention

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Oral dose of both gabapentin and celecoxib (toradol if sulfa allergy) in the preop area. US-guided interscalene regional block without the aid of opioid co-medication. Intra-op management by anesthesia with non-opioid modalities but should include one dose of IV acetaminophen during the procedure. Anesthetic modalities will include, but not limited to, regional block, propofol, IV lidocaine, rocuronium/vecuronium, and sevoflurane/desflurane. If the attending anesthesiologist deems it necessary to dose with opioids during procedure, it will be recorded and reported. Liposomal bupivacaine will be injected into the peri-articular soft tissues as an adjunct to the block. Post Op, cryotherapy, gabapentin, toradol. Toradol will transition to celecoxib for the duration of the hospitalization (or meloxicam for patients with sulfa allergy). As needed medications will include both oral and IV acetaminophen, as well as up to an additional 15mg of toradol per 6hr, depending on Cr clearance.

Limitations and Caveats

Enrollment into either pathway was voluntary, not randomized. Patient-kept diaries are difficult data to rely on. Only examines the short-term recovery of the patients undergoing TSA/RTSA. Did not evaluate the cost with each treatment arm.
