Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of a single dose of intravenous intraoperative methadone on postoperative opioid consumption, pain and side effects in patients scheduled for hysterectomy for benign indications. A single dose of intravenous intraoperative morphine will be used as an active comparator.;Secondary Objective: • Pain intensity (NRS, 0-10) at rest and coughing at 0.5, 1, 3, 6, 24, 48 and 72 hours after extubation • Patient satisfaction (NRS, 0-10) with pain management at 3 and 24 hours after extubation • Nausea and/or vomiting (PONV) on a 4 point Likert scale (none/mild/moderate/severe) at 6, 24 and 72 hours • Time from arrival to readiness for discharge from PACU and hospital (hours and minutes). • Level of sedation at observation at the PACU (Ramsay Sedation Scale [20] at 0.5, 1 and 3 hours after extubation) • Any adverse events during observation at the PACU: o Hypoventilation (respiratory rate < 10/minutes) o Hypoxemia (peripheral oxygen saturation < 90%) ;Primary end point(s): Primary outcomes: • Opioid consumption at 24 hours (mean cumulative opioid consumption) • Opioid consumption at 6 hours after extubation (mean cumulative opioid consumption) ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 6 and 24 hours after extubation.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Secondary outcomes: • Pain intensity (NRS, 0-10) at rest and coughing at 0.5, 1, 3, 6, 24, 48 and 72 hours after extubation • Patient satisfaction (NRS, 0-10) with pain management at 3 and 24 hours after extubation • Nausea and/or vomiting (PONV) on a 4 point Likert scale (none/mild/moderate/severe) at 6, 24 and 72 hours • Time from arrival to readiness for discharge from PACU and hospital (hours and minutes). • Level of sedation at observation at the PACU (Ramsay Sedation Scale [20] at 0.5, 1 and 3 hours after extubation) • Any adverse events during observation at the PACU: o Hypoventilation (respiratory rate < 10/minutes) o Hypoxemia (peripheral oxygen saturation < 90%);Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 0.5, 1, 3, 6, 24, 48 and 72 hours after extubation and 4 months after surgery.
