Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Pain Scores (Numerical Rating Scale)

    The primary outcome was post-intervention pain score, adjusted for the corresponding pre-intervention pain score. Pain scores were measured by the Numerical Rating Scale which ranges from 0 (lowest pain) to 10 (highest pain) We targeted 3 interventions per day for each patient, and thus, correspondingly 3 pre-post pain measurements per day. The reported value is the least squares mean calculated using a mixed model for repeated measures.

    From the end of surgery until 48 hours after surgery or discharge, whichever comes first

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Total Opioid Consumption

    End of surgery to 72 hours after surgery.

  • Time Weighted Average Pain Score

    End of surgery to 48 hours after surgery

  • Perception of Video System Usability

    Once between last intervention time and hospital discharge (up to 8 days after end of surgery)

  • Post Discharge Analgesia.

    One week (7 days) after hospital discharge
