NCT05990686

Brief Summary

Postoperative pain is an important problem, especially for day case surgeries. It has negative effects on patient's hemodynamics and can cause delayed ambulation resulting in prolonged duration of hospital stay and poor patient satisfaction. Multiple analgesic strategies have been proposed including NSAID, opioids, epidural analgesia. Each of them has its limitations. In this study the investigators will compare between the effect of preemptive use of paracetamol plus tramadol versus preemptive intravenous fentanyl in controlling postoperative pain

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • postoperative analgesia

    Assess quality of postoperative analgesia in both groups analogue score (VAS) scale where zero means no pain and ten means worst pain

    immediately postoperative (0 hour), 1 hour, 2 hours , 4 hours, 6 hours and 12 hours

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • mean arterial Blood pressure

    5 minutes after start of surgery (intraoperative) , immediately after surgery (0 hour) , 1 hour, 2 hours , 4 hours , 6 hours and 12 hours after surgery

  • rescue analgesic

    immediately after surgery (0 hour) , 1 hour, 2 hours , 4 hours , 6 hours and 12 hours after surgery

  • side effects

    up to twenty four hours after surgery

  • length of hospital stay

    up to twenty four hours after surgery

  • Heart Rate

    5 minutes after start of surgery ( intraoperative), immediately after surgery (0 hour) , 1 hour, 2 hours , 4 hours , 6 hours and 12 hours after surgery

Study Arms (2)

paracetamol plus tramadol

randomized selection of 66 adult patients

Drug: Tramadol Hydrochloride

fentanyl

randomized selection of 66 adult patients

Drug: Fentanyl injection

Interventions

After routine pre-operative evaluation, standard monitors will be connected to the patients: pulse oximetery, noninvasive blood pressure and electrocardiogram and baseline parameter will be recorded (heart rate, mean arterial pressure and peripheral oxygen saturation). Intravenous (IV) line will be inserted for all patients, and IV fluid will be started. Intravenous infusion of 15mg/kg paracetamol together with 1mg/kg tramadol will be started and to be finished before starting of induction of anaesthesia (induction agent will be Propofol 2mg/kg)
