Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To compare differences in intra-procedural pain scores at six time points between both groups.Timepoint: TIME POINT 1: At skin incision TIME POINT 2: At the time of venous access by cephalic vein cutdown or axillary vein puncture TIME POINT 3: During preparation of the subfascial pocket TIME POINT 4: During attachment of the leads with suture material to the pectoralis major muscle TIME POINT 5: The insertion of the device into the prepared pocket TIME POINT 6: The skin closure

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1)To compare differences in postprocedural pain scores at various time points between both groups. 2)To compare the length of hospital stay 3)To compare the differences in intra operative and postoperative analgesic requirements. 4)To compare the complication rate in both groups.Timepoint: 1)Pain scores after 1,2,4,8 and 24 hours after the procedure.
