Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Level of pain (NRS) at 0, 1, 6, 12, 24 hours after block.Time of 1st analgesic requirement. Total analgesic consumption in 1st 24 hrs post surgery.Timepoint: To compare the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) score at rest in patients during the first postoperative 24 hours between the study groups. To compare the time to first rescue analgesic requirement between the study groups. To compare the postoperative 24 hours analgesics consumption between the study groups.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
