Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Perioperative haemodynamic changes, Requirement of opioids and muscle relaxants, Total duration of postoperative analgesia (up to 24 hours)Timepoint: Haemodynamic variables were recorded preoperatively, and at 5, 15, 30, and 60 minutes following block administration, and subsequently at 2, 3, and 4 hours. Postoperative assessments including pain scores (VAS), sedation scores, opioid consumption, and haemodynamic parameters were obtained immediately after extubation, and at 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24 hours.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary outcomes including VAS pain scores, haemodynamic parameters, sedation scores, opioid consumption, and inotropic requirement will be assessed in the immediate postoperative period and at 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24 hours. Duration of mechanical ventilation and ICU stay will be recorded until ICU discharge.Timepoint: after extubation, and at 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24 hours.
