Total Narcotic Usage at 48 Hours
2.44 mg
Standard Error 0.43
2.88 mg
Standard Error 0.59

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: up to 60 hours

All narcotic usage will be recorded at 1,12,24,36,48, and 60 hours. All narcotics will be converted to morphine equivalent for statistical calculation. These values reflect the total amount of narcotic used after combining all the data collected from each time point.
