NCT05063695

Brief Summary

Investigators hypothesize that Erector spinae catheter pain management protocol would allow patients to have earlier and more effective rehabilitation with decreased length of hospital stay. The aims are to compare LOS between the two groups (epidural and ES groups). Secondary aims are to compare recovery outcomes (mobilization time), time required to do the blocks, pain scores and opioid use during hospitalization and on follow up after discharge until Pain clinic visit, side effects, family satisfaction and readmissions among the two groups. In addition, in-hospital and post-discharge outcomes in subjects who received ESP protocol will be studied.
