Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
To study and compare the total Morphine consumption over 24 hours postoperatively in patients undergoing lumbar spine surgery.Timepoint: To study and compare the total Morphine consumption over 24 hours postoperatively in patients undergoing lumbar spine surgery at 30mins, 2,4,6,8,12,18 and 24 hours interval.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
1) Time of first analgesic used over 24 hours (Time from PACU discharge to first requested analgesic) 2) Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) score. This is a 10-point horizontal pain scale with 0 representing "no pain" and 10 representing "worst pain imaginable". A Higher score denotes worse outcome 3) Any opioid related side effects within the first 24 hours and Patient satisfaction utilizing a Likert-scale questionnaire on POD 1 Timepoint: To study the time of first requirement of rescue analgesic post surgery, assess the quality of analgesia using NRS scores and patient satisfaction using likert scale over 24 hours at 30 mins, 2, 4,6,8,12,18 and 24 hours interval	—
