Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Number of doses of pain in medication used [5 days post-op]
After surgery, each child will be prescribed the standard dosage of oxycodone/acetaminophen based on their weight. We will have the patient's family record the number of doses of narcotics used from post-operative day #1 to post-operative day #5 to assess their pain needs.
- Pain scale based on the faces pain score [5 days post-op]
We will have the family members record the child's pain score in the morning and evening using the faces pain scale and record the score.
