Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Patients with arrhythmia Patients on pacemaker Patients on preoperative opioid treatment for pain

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
: We designed this study with the objective of studying incidences of post operative complications in patients with high intraoperative surgical plethysmography index (SPI). We hypothesize that high SPI for a prolonged duration intra-operatively corresponds to nociceptive stimuli and uncontrolled surgical stress and can predict the postoperative complication.Timepoint: Post op complications will be assessed till the patient gets discharge.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
The total use of Opioids in morphine equivalents intraoperatively in patients in high SPI group as compared to others.Timepoint: This will be assessed during intraoperative period only.
