Postop Pain in the MICS Patients Versus Sternotomy Patients

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.

Treatment and study plan

Coronary bypass surgery

Procedure

Reviewed postoperative coronary bypass patients and compared postoperative pain levels

Primary outcomes

    Time frame: The first 24 hours post extubation

    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.
