Measure	Time frame
Pain score. Timepoint: Recording the pain score of the operation site at the time of discharge from recovery and 24 hours, 48 hours, 4 days and 7 days after surgery. Method of measurement: Visual Analog Scale.;Tourniquet site pain score. Timepoint: Discharge from recovery and 24 hours after the operation. Method of measurement: Visual Analog Scale.;Evaluation of sleep quality. Timepoint: Evaluation of sleep quality the night before and the first night after surgery, as well as 48 hours, 4 days and 7 days after surgery. Method of measurement: Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Questionnaire.;Examining waking up during anesthesia, symptoms include: dizziness, rapid meiosis in response to light, tears, targeted movements of facial muscles and limbs, sweating, tachycardia, and increased blood pressure in response to painful stimulation (skin incision). Timepoint: The beginning of surgery (skin incision) and the end of surgery (skin suture). Method of measurement: Dizziness, rapid meiosis in response to light, tears, targeted movements of facial muscles and limbs, sweating, tachycardia, and increased blood pressure in response to painful stimulation (skin incision).;Examining recall of events during anesthesia with questions: hearing the sounds during the operation, feeling the stretch of the viscera and feeling the pain. Timepoint: In 24 hours and 7 days after anesthesia. Method of measurement: Hearing the sounds during the operation, feeling the stretch of the viscera and feeling the pain.;Registration of hemodynamic indicators including: systolic and diastolic blood pressure, heart rate and arterial blood oxygen. Timepoint: Entering the operating room, during the operation and at the time of discharge from recovery. Method of measurement: Monitoring device.	—
