Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: •Opioid consumption within the first 3/24 hours ;Secondary Objective: •Postoperative pain intensity within the first 24 hours (at 1, 3, 6, 18, 24 hrs) •Nausea and/or vomiting at 3 and 24 hours; sedation at 3 hours. •Hypoventilation/hypoxemia in the PACU •Patient satisfaction with pain management at 24 hours after extubation •Time from arrival to readiness for discharge from PACU and hospital (hours and minutes) ;Primary end point(s): •Opioid consumption ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 3/24 hours after extubation

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): • Pain intensity (NRS, 0-10) at rest and coughing • Nausea and/or vomiting (PONV) on a 4-point Likert scale (none/mild/moderate/severe) • Level of sedation in the PACU (Ramsey sedation score) • Any adverse events during observation at the PACU: - Hypoventilation - Hypoxemia • Patient satisfaction (NRS, 0-10) with pain management • Time from arrival to readiness for discharge from PACU and hospital (hours and minutes);Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Pain - 1, 3, 6, 18 and 24 hours after extubation Nausea and/or vomiting - 3 and 24 hours Sedation - 3 hours Adverse events - hypoventilation (respiratory rate <10/minutes) - hypoxemia (peripheral oxygen saturation <94%) Patient satisfaction - 24 hours
