The objective of this study is to pilot an opioid free anesthetic protocol for patients undergoing total hip replacement. The study team identified alternative pharmacologic methods to block pain pathways to reduce or even eliminate the need for opioids in the intra- and postoperative periods, with the goal of decreasing or eliminating exposure to opioids. A secondary objective is to assess two core competencies for interprofessional collaborative practice (Interprofessional Communication and Teams; and Teamwork) within the interprofessional care team implementing the opioid free protocol.
