Summary

Investigators hypothesize that Erector spinae catheter pain management protocol would allow patients to have earlier and more effective rehabilitation with decreased length of hospital stay. The aims are to compare LOS between the two groups (epidural and ES groups). Secondary aims are to compare recovery outcomes (mobilization time), time required to do the blocks, pain scores and opioid use during hospitalization and on follow up after discharge until Pain clinic visit, side effects, family satisfaction and readmissions among the two groups. In addition, in-hospital and post-discharge outcomes in subjects who received ESP protocol will be studied.

Detailed description

Retrospective study - Electronic medical records of consecutive patients who underwent pectus surgery between January and December of 2019 (epidural protocol) and those who underwent same procedure between June 2020 to May 2021, will be evaluated. Covariates and outcomes described in sections below will be recorded from EMR. The data included records from flowsheets, pain team notes based on follow up questionnaires administered by phone after discharge until after ESP catheters were removed, as well as pain clinic notes.
