Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary endpoint examined in this RCT is the assessment of anterograde amnesia. (1) The number of posters remembered 24 hours after surgery among four posters shown after awakening from anesthesia. Specifically, after awakening from anesthesia and being able to say their names, patients are to be shown four posters. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| (1) The number of events remembered from prior to the start of anesthesia: ambulatory entry, bed transfer, vein insertion, BIS monitor attachment to the forehead, and mask fitting, and based on whether the patient remembers the poster (see Appendix) shown before the induction of anesthesia. (2) The amount of analgesic medication from the time the patient returns to the ward until 24 h after surgery. (3) Immediate postoperative pain numerical rating scale (NRS) values (see Appendix). (4) Pain NRS scores 24 h after leaving the operating room. Safety endpoints 1) Nausea assessed based on the amount of antiemetic medication used immediately after surgery and from the time of returning to the ward until 24 hours after surgery. 2) Time to full awakening. 3) The incidences of hypotension, bradycardia, rhabdomyolysis, and anaphylaxis. | — |
