Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: Is the cumulative dose of opioid 2 hours postoperative reduced in the group treated with esmolol during surgery compared with the group treated with remifentanil?;Secondary Objective: Is the cumulative dose of opioid 24 hours postoperative reduced in the group treated with esmolol during surgery compared with the group treated with remifentanil? Can the intra operative use of esmolol instead of remifentanil reduce postoperative nausea and vomiting?;Primary end point(s): Cumulative consumption of morphine (mg) at time 2 hours post-operative;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 2 hours post operative

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): 1. Cumulative consumption of morphine (mg) at time 24 hours post-operative 2. Nausea or vomiting at time 2 an 24 hours post operative 3. Number of doses of anti-emetics administered ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1. 24 hours post operative 2. 2 and 24 hours post operative 3. 2 and 24 doses post operative
