Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To assess postoperative pain using visual analogue scale (VAS) score between the two groups at 12th hourTimepoint: 12th hour post surgery

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Total opioid consumption in postoperative period 2. Intraoperative- Heart Rate (HR), Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP), Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP), Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) and, SpO2 baseline before induction. 3. Intraoperative- Heart Rate (HR), Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP), Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP), Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) and, SpO2 and EtCO2 during surgery. 4. Time to the requirement of 1st dose of rescue analgesic in minutes. 5. Incidence of adverse effects like post op nausea and vomiting and sedation. Timepoint: 1. Total opioid consumption in postoperative period 2. Intraoperative- Heart Rate (HR), Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP), Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP), Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) and, SpO2 baseline before induction. 3. Intraoperative- Heart Rate (HR), Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP), Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP), Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) and, SpO2 and EtCO2 every 10 mins interval till the end of surgery. 4. Time to the requirement of 1st dose of rescue analgesic in minutes. 5. Incidence of adverse effects like post op nausea and vomiting and sedation.
