Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To compare the duration of analgesia between the two groups in the form of time to first rescue analgesia.Timepoint: Pain (FLACC) scoring will be done at admission in PACU, then every 30 minutes till 2 hours then at 4, 8 and 24 hours. Time to first rescue analgesia will be noted.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To determine & compare between the two groups, intraoperative hemodynamic changes, postoperative pain scores & incidence of any complicationTimepoint: The vitals including HR, NIBP, SpO2 & end tidal carbon dioxide levels (EtCO2) will be recorded intraoperatively from the induction of anesthesia at every 15 minutes. Pain (FLACC) scoring will be done at admission in PACU, then every 30 minutes till 2 hours then at 4, 8 & 24 hours. Any complication like vomiting, bradycardia, respiratory depression will be noted
