Severity is deterministic uncalibrated triage metadata, not validated review priority. Operation-level severity is inferred from deterministic path rules. Rule matches shown per operation are approximate previews (they skip the pipeline's suppression passes); the authoritative classification is the stored event record.

The purpose of this study is to compare two standard methods of pain control management used at Spectrum Health for patients undergoing breast surgery.
The two methods being compared are the paravertebral block and the pectoral nerve block.
Postoperative pain control is essential following any major operative procedure.
A variety of methods have been utilized to ensure adequate analgesia, each with its own advantages and risks.
Increasingly, attention has focused on regional methods of analgesia, which may allow for reduction in systemic narcotic use and their associated complications.
Proposed benefits of regional analgesia and a resultant reduction in narcotic use include decreased risk of cancer progression, decreased length of stay, and decreased risk of ileus.
