Brief Summary

An optimal analgesic therapy is very important for postoperative recovery. In recent years, several studies showed that the prevalence of the moderate to severe pain after craniotomy ranged from 69 to 87% of patients. The investigators showed that the use of morphine based patient controlled analgesia prevented moderate to severe postoperative pain in patients undergoing supratentorial craniotomy. Morphine related side effects such as sedation, miosis, respiratory depression, nausea and vomiting produce a general reluctance for their use in neurosurgery. Therefore, all patients were closely observed to detect opioid related side effects in the intensive care unit for 24 hours following surgery in our previous study. The Integrated Pulmonary Index (IPI) is a new tool that calculates respiratory and hemodynamic parameters noninvasively. In the present study the investigators will use different doses of morphine based patient-controlled analgesia and the IPI system to determine more effective and safer morphine dose for postoperative analgesia following supratentorial craniotomy.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Integrated pulmonary index system

    Integrated pulmonary index system will be used to determine more effective and safer morphine dose for postoperative analgesia following supratentorial craniotomy. This software tool is a single index value ranging from 1 to 10 based on 4 physiological parameters: end tidal carbon dioxide, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, pulse rate.

    24 hour postoperatively

Study Arms (3)

Morphine PCA 1 mg

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The patient controlled analgesia device give 1mg morphine for each demand of the patient.

Drug: Morphine PCA 1 mg

Morphine PCA 0,5 mg

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The patient controlled analgesia device give 0,5 mg morphine for each demand of the patient.

Drug: Morphine PCA 0,5 mg

Placebo

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

The patient controlled analgesia device give 2 mL serum physiologic for each demand of the patient.The Group 3 will take 50 mg dexketoprofen in the recovery room. Intra venous injections of dexketoprofen will repeat every 8 hours. If the VAS skore more than 4 the Group 3 patients will take 1 g paracetamol every 6 hours.

Drug: Placebo

Interventions

PCA will set to administer a bolus dose of 1 mg morphine on demand with a lockout period of 10 minutes and maximum 20 mg for 4 hours.

Also known as: Morphine sulphate 1 mg
Morphine PCA 1 mg

PCA set to administer a bolus dose of 0.5 mg morphine on demand with a lockout period of 10 minutes and maximum 20 mg for 4 hours.

Also known as: Morphine sulphate 0,5 mg
Morphine PCA 0,5 mg

the PCA will contain placebo

Also known as: serum physiologic, dexketoprofen trometamol, paracetamol
