Ultrasound Shear Wave Elastography Examination - LowerFentanyl InjectionSubjects identified as being administered low dose opioids during an elective lower extremity orthopedic surgery per standard of care will undergo an ultrasound shear wave elastography examination while performing different breathing techniques.
Ultrasound Shear Wave Elastography Examination - MidFentanyl InjectionSubjects identified as being administered mid dose opioids during an elective lower extremity orthopedic surgery per standard of care will undergo an ultrasound shear wave elastography examination while performing different breathing techniques.
Ultrasound Shear Wave Elastography Examination - HigherFentanyl InjectionSubjects identified as being administered higher dose opioids during an elective lower extremity orthopedic surgery per standard of care will undergo an ultrasound shear wave elastography examination while performing different breathing techniques.
