Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Pain intensity score. Timepoint: At the beginning of the study (before the start of the intervention), immediately before the operation and 6, 12, 24 and 48 hours after the operation. Method of measurement: Asking the patient with a numerical rating scale (NRS) (0 to 10).;Cumulative dose of opioid consumption. Timepoint: 48 hours after the operation. Method of measurement: Record the cumulative amount of opioid consumed (using the patient file report) in the period from the beginning of the study to 48 hours after the operation.;The time of the patient's first need for opioids. Timepoint: During 48 hours after the operation. Method of measurement: The time recorded in the patient's record report.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Nausea or vomiting. Timepoint: At the beginning of the study (before the start of the intervention), immediately before the operation and then during the 48 hours after the operation. Method of measurement: Visiting and asking the patient.;Hypoxia, Oxygen saturation (spo2) less than 89% on ambient air. Timepoint: At the beginning of the study (before the start of the intervention), immediately before the operation and then during the 48 hours after the operation. Method of measurement: View the Oxygen saturation (SpO2) values recorded in each visit from the patient's file.;Bradycardia, Heart rate number less than 60 beats/min. Timepoint: At the beginning of the study (before the start of the intervention), immediately before the operation and then during the 48 hours after the operation. Method of measurement: Viewing the heart rate values recorded in each visit from the patient file.;Hypotension, Systolic blood pressure less than 60.90 mmHg that causes symptoms in the patient. Timepoint: At the beginning of the study (before the start of the intervention), immediately before the operation and then during the 48 hours after the operation.
