About this study

Official title: Is Postoperative Pain Different in the MICS CABG Cohort V. the Traditional Sternotomy Cohort

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. The data collection process began in late December of 2017 and January of 2018. The assessment of postop pain was performed by using a standard 11-point numeric pain rating scale on post extubation day one and the day of discharge.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Highest reported pain level, on the standard 0-10 pain scale, post extubation day one

    The highest recorded pain level, taken by the nursing staff, on the day following. extubation. Utilized day post due to the washout/possible confounding variable of sedation administration within 24hrs.

    Measured: The first 24 hours post extubation

  2. Highest reported pain level, on the standard 0-10 pain scale, on the day of discharge.

    The highest reported pain, measured by the nursing staff on within 24hrs from discharge.

    Measured: Within 24 hours from discharge
