A Retrospective, Cohort Study Evaluating the Efficacy of an Elastomeric Ropivacaine Pain Pump Used Postoperatively in Shoulder Surgery

by Stephanie Bishop, PharmD, Jessica Benjamin, PharmD, Joshua Rekoske, PharmD

"A common concern for patients postoperatively is proper pain management. Standard approaches to pain management include the use of opioid and non-opioid analgesics, and local anesthetics. However, frequent opioid use can lead to adverse effects such as constipation, somnolence, and respiratory depression. Adverse effects related to opioid consumption can lead to prolonged length of stay, complications such as bowel dysfunction, and can contribute to the opioid addiction crisis. Thus, practitioners are rapidly turning to multi-modal pain control options to reduce overall opioid consumption in the postoperative population."
