Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Postoperative CHEOPS scale

    The scale includes six entries with an appropriate point evaluation focused on the character of crying (1-3 points), facial expressions (0-2 points), verbal reaction (0-2 points), position of the body (1-2 points), touch (1-2 points), and position of the legs (1-2 points). Minimum score is 4 (no pain) and maximum is 13 (maximum pain). Grades are summed together. CHEOPS has a minimum possible score of 4 points (no pain) to a maximum of 13 points (the worst pain). When the postoperative pain score exceeded four, rescue analgesia was given with a 20mg/kg paracetamol suppository.

    for 6 hours after surgery

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Time to first analgesic request

    during first 24 hours

  • number of patients requiring rescue analgesic

    during first 24 hours

  • incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting

    during first 24 hours
