Opioid usage in the PACU in non-obese (blue) and obese (red) orthopedic patients. (a) Average number of opioid doses administered over the course of a PACU stay in the obese and non-obese orthopedic patient cohort, respectively. (b) Average total morphine equivalent dose of opioids administered in the PACU. Error bars represent the standard error of the mean (SEM). There is no significant difference observed in PACU opioid dosage when patients are stratified for obesity (p > 0.05 for both comparisons)
