Brief Summary

To adequately assess postoperative pain in the coronary artery bypass surgical population a multicentered retrospective chart review was carried out; the study utilized a nonexperimental comparative descriptive study design. The retrospective review was conducted over a six-month time frame, consisting of June 2017 through November 2017, at two hospitals within the same organization.
