Registered outcomes3
Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.
| List | Outcome | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary | Subjective Pain Scores using Visual Analog Scale (VAS) | For 1 week post-operation | Lower mean daily post-operative pain scores between participants in the Exparel vs. Bupivacaine arms recorded multiple times over the observation period. The pain scale is 0-10 with 0 being no pain to 10 being the worst pain possible. |
| Secondary | Opioids Used Post-Operatively compared in anesthesia arms | For 1 Week post-operation | The amount of opioid pills taken, as measured by morphine equivalents, is reduced depending on the type of anesthetic used during the TAP block. We will be measuring the post operative opioid usage by asking the patients how many narcotic pills they take daily after surgery for one week. Variability comes into play if we prescribe different doses of Norco or if we use Percocet, therefore we will standardize this by converting these differing dosages in to morphine equivalents for both groups. |
| Secondary | Opioids Used Post-Operatively related to Hernia Size and Surgical Time | After 1 week post-operation | A decrease in the total number of opioid pills taken post-operatively compared to the total surgical time and how large the hernia defect is. Increased surgical times and larger hernias may play a role in the amount of pain medication an individual may need post-operatively. |
