Overview
Brief Summary
A prospective randomized control trial will be conducted at Good Samaritan Hospital and TriHealth Evendale Hospital. Subjects will receive total hip or knee surgery and follow-up via standard care at the discretion of the treating physician or the experimental study arm in which all patients will undergo the integrated care pathway.
Detailed Description
Patients will be randomized to the control group or the experimental group. Patients in the control group will receive the treating physician's standard of care, and undergo bladder scans in the post anesthesia care unit (PACU), upon admission to the unit, and prior to discharge from the hospital. Patients in the experimental group will undergo a multimodal pain control care pathway that minimizes opioid consumption. The primary endpoint will be the presence of or absence of post-operative urinary retention (POUR) between discharge from the PACU and prior to discharge from the hospital. POUR will be defined as bladder volume of greater than 500cc and the inability to void for at least 2 hours within the first 24 hours. POUR, once identified will be treated with intermittent straight catheterization (ISC). Secondary endpoints will include opioid consumption (in morphine milligram equivalents; MME), genito-urinary consultation, type (knee or hip) and duration of surgery, type of anesthesia, duration of anesthesia, total amount of IV fluids, blood loss, length of hospital stay (LOS), discharge status (home with early outpatient physical therapy, etc.), time of first spontaneous voiding, and the number of ISCs and any necessary indwelling catheterization and adverse events of interest including POUR, post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV), severe pain of 7 or greater on the numeric rating scale(NRS), blood loss requiring transfusion, and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS).
