Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • First time to analgesic requirement

    After extubation, an IV PCA system will be connected to the patient (Accufuser Plus® 100 mL: Woo Young Medical Co, Korea). PCA will be prepared with 60 mL of normal saline containing 60 mg of morphine, and the system will be programmed to give a 0.5 mL bolus dose with a lockout interval of 8 min. basal rate will not be present. PCA will be discontinued at 24 h after surgery, and at that time, oral analgesics begin.

    1st 24 hour

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Total opioid consumption .

    1st 24 hour

  • Visual analogue scale (VAS)

    1st 24 hours postoperatively
