Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • The degree of postoperative pain in the first 24 hours post-operative

    Postoperative pain will be assessed by the numerical rating scale (NRS); 0 no pain while 10 is the maximum pain) after discharge to the ward ,and at 6, 12, 18, 24 hours.

    first 24 hours post-operative

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Time to first analgesic requirement

    first 24 hours post-operative

  • Total dose of intraoperative consumption of fentanyl

    intraoperative

  • Total dose of rescue analgesia in the first 24hr postoperative

    first 24 hours post-operative
