What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. First time to analgesic requirement

    After extubation, an intravenous patient-controlled analgesia system, will be connected to the patient (Accufuser Plus® 100 ml, Woo Young Medical Co, Korea) will be prepared with 60 ml normal saline containing 60 mg morphine, it will be programmed to give and 0.5 ml bolus dose with lockout interval of 8 minutes. Time to first Bolus will be estimated considering extubation time is the zero time.

    Time frame: First 24 hours postoperatively

Secondary outcomes

  1. Total opioid consumption

    Total morphine consumption per twenty four hours will be estimated

    Time frame: First 24 hours postoperatively

  2. Visual analogue scale (VAS)

    Pain scores will be evaluated by a blinded observer anesthesiologist at the time of arrival in the PACU, and 10, 20, 30 minutes, 1 h, 2h, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16 and 24 hr thereafter using visual analogue scale (VAS) (0-10 cm: 0 = no pain, 10 = the worst pain possible). The patients will be instructed about usage of VAS preoperatively

    Time frame: First 24 hours postoperatively
