Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Postoperative FLACC scale

    FLACC scale: 0 : relaxed/ comfortable, 1-3 : mild discomfort, 4-6 : moderate discomfort, 7- 10: sever discomfort/ Pain / both,

    for 24 hours after surgery

  • Postoperative sedation score

    The degree of sedation will be assessed by using a three point sedation scale based on eye opening: - Alert with spontaneous eye opening 0, - Drowsy with eyes only opening in response to speech 1, - Sedated with eyes opening in response to physical stimulation 2,

    for 4 hours after surgery

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • Heart rate

    For 4 hours after induction

  • Systolic blood pressure

    For 4 hours after induction

  • Postoperative nausea

    for 24 hours after surgery

  • Haematoma formation after surgery

    for 24 hours after surgery

  • Postoperative vomiting

    for 24 hours after surgery
