Clinical Trial Summary

The objective of this study is to pilot an opioid free anesthetic protocol for patients undergoing total hip replacement.

Description:

The objective of this study is to pilot an opioid free anesthetic protocol for patients undergoing total hip replacement. The study team identified alternative pharmacologic methods to block pain pathways to reduce or even eliminate the need for opioids in the intra- and postoperative periods, with the goal of decreasing or eliminating exposure to opioids. A secondary objective is to assess two core competencies for interprofessional collaborative practice (Interprofessional Communication and Teams; and Teamwork) within the interprofessional care team implementing the opioid free protocol.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Total Post-operative Opioid Requirements With Non-opioid Drug Regimen	Total post-operative opioid requirements (opioid dose) were calculated for participants receiving the non-opioid drug regimen, among participants who required post-operative opioid medication.	Up to 5 weeks
Secondary	Nebraska Interprofessional Education Attitude Scale (NIPEAS) Score for Professional Staff Arm	The Nebraska Interprofessional Education Attitude Scale (NIPEAS) was developed to measure the attitudes of pre-clinical learners to practicing health professionals. The NIPEAS is a 19-item questionnaire assessing attitudes related to interprofessional collaboration. Responses were given using a 5-point Likert scale where 1 = Strongly Disagree to 5 = Strongly Agree. The total score is the average of the average scores for each item and ranges from 1 to 5. A higher total score indicates increased positive perceptions toward interprofessional collaboration.	Prior to protocol implementation (baseline), halfway through the recruitment period (2 months) and after the last participant has been discharged from the hospital (4 months)
