Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary Objective: 1) to explore the intraoperative concentrations of fentanyl in these various dosing schemes during and after extracorporeal circulation (ECC). [i.e. determine the time course of fentanyl with ECC and its association with hyperalgesia; explorative] 2) to explore a possible association between fentanyl dosing, hyperalgesia, and persisting pain 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery. [i.e. clinical implication on persistent/chronic pain; explorative] ;Main Objective: to assess whether or not different intraoperative dosing schemes of fentanyl during on-pump CABG surgery influence the area of hyperalgesia as measured by sternal pin-prick testing on the first postoperative day. ;Primary end point(s): the area of hyperalgesia as determined by pin-prick testing using a von Frey filament (256mN).;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: at 24 hours

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): - the area of hyperalgesia - the areas of allodynia . - the highest level of pain/worst pain on the numeric rating scale (NRS) will be asked. - the morphine-equivalent opioid consumption will be ascertained. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: - at 48 hours - at 24 and 48 hours - for the last 24/48 hours when visited for pin-prick testing - at 24 and 48 hours
