Perioperative Sleep Quality and Postoperative Pain Outcomes

The Influence of Perioperative Sleep Quality on Postoperative Pain Outcomes in Pediatric Patients Undergoing Knee Surgery

This is a prospective, observational cohort study that will examine how sleep quality impacts postoperative pain and opioid consumption for pediatric patients. The investigators will administer a questionnaire preoperatively to determine which patients have poor or good sleep quality. They will then compare postoperative pain and opioid use between groups for two weeks following surgery. For a secondary aim, investigators will use electronic medication vials (eCAP) to monitor participants' medication use at home and compare to self-reporting.
