About this study

The investigators propose a randomized trial to be performed at the Cleveland Clinic. Patients will be assigned to: 1) an educational video focused on postoperative analgesia modalities, opioids, and realistic pain expectations (analgesic education); or, 2) an educational video focused on other aspects of the perioperative experience.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Modified informed consent
  • Adults ≥18 years
  • American Society of Anaesthesiologists physical status 1-4
  • Scheduled for hip arthroplasty, laparoscopy assisted colorectal surgery
  • Personal visit the PACE clinic
  • Anticipated overnight postoperative hospitalization
  • Reasonable English fluency

Exclusion criteria

  • Opioid use for more than 30 consecutive days within three preoperative months, at a daily dose of 15 mg or more of morphine or equivalent
  • Regional block or epidural analgesia

Treatment and study plan

Video on analgesic education

Other

A four minute video informing the patient about opioids.

Video on general perioperative education

Other

A four minute video informing the patient about general perioperative process.

Primary outcomes

  1. Opioid Consumption

    Time frame: 72 hours after surgery

    Opioid consumption (morphine milligrams equivalent) during the initial 72 hours after surgery.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Time-weighted Average Pain Scores

    Time frame: 72 hours after surgery, or until discharge, whichever was earlier

    Time-weighted average of pain scores obtained from electronic medical records. Pain scores were measured using the numeric rating scale ranging from 0-10, with 0 indicating the lowest pain (better) and 10 the highest pain (worse). Pain scores were recorded approximately every 15 minutes in the post-anesthesia care unit and then every 4 hours in the ward.

  2. Satisfaction With Post Operative Pain Management

    Time frame: 3 days after surgery

    Patient satisfaction measured using Likert scale 0-10 with 0 meaning not satisfied and 10 meaning completely satisfied.
