Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

A pilot study to evaluate the effect of incorporating sublingual sufentanil into our perioperative opioid regimen for ambulatory orthopedic surgery.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

A pilot study to evaluate the effect of incorporating sublingual sufentanil into our perioperative opioid regimen for ambulatory orthopedic surgery. The results will help us estimate treatment effect and determine sample size for a subsequent full-scale clinical trial.

Primary Endpoint: total amount of fentanyl consumed during hospital admission. Secondary Endpoints: 1) phase I recovery time; and, 2) time to fitness for discharge.

Exploratory Endpoints: 1) intraoperative hemodynamics; 2) intraoperative opioid use; 3) intraoperative sevoflurane use; 4) postoperative pain; 5) postoperative sedation and cognitive recovery 6) time to first request for analgesia; and, 7) incidence of nausea and vomiting between the end of anesthesia and hospital discharge.
