Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Primary: To compare opioid free anesthetic technique with conventional opioid based anesthetic technique in terms of emergence from anaesthesia in patients undergoing elective supratentorial craniotomy. 1.Emergence time (in minutes) 2.Extubation time (in minutes) Timepoint: At emergence and extubation

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Intraoperative Hemodynamic response, such as heart rate and mean art. Pressure. 2. Rate of Post operative nausea vomiting [PONV] 3. Postoperative pain assessed post extubation in OT and subsequently at 4,6,12 and 24 hours in ICU using the 11- point Numeric Rating Scale. 4. Emergence quality assessed using Richmond Agitation Sedation Scale. 5. Duration of ICU stay (days) 6. Duration of hospital stay (days) 7. Complications if any. Timepoint: Baseline, intraoperative period, and till 24hrs in ICU
