Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To compare cumulative intraoperative fentanyl consumption in patients undergoing supratentorial tumor resection surgery under general anesthesia, with either intravenous lignocaine infusion or placebo.Timepoint: To compare cumulative intraoperative fentanyl consumption in patients undergoing supratentorial tumor resection surgery under general anesthesia, with either intravenous lignocaine infusion or placebo during skull pin insertion T1, during incision T2, and during any time in the intraoperative period.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1.To compare the incidence of fentanyl-related side effects, including postoperative nausea, and vomiting (PONV) during the first 24 hours postoperatively between the two study groups. 2.To compare the rescue analgesic requirements during the first 24 hours postoperatively between the two groups, evaluating the effect of intravenous lignocaine infusion on analgesic consumption. Timepoint: immediately after extubation, one-hour post-extubation in the Post-Anaesthesia Care Unit (PACU), and subsequently at 6 hours, 12 hours, 18 hours, and 24 hours postoperatively
