Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Time to the 1st rescue analgesia

Time to the first request for the rescue analgesia (time from the end of surgery to first dose of morphine administrated).

Time frame
24 hours postoperatively

Secondary outcomes

1

Total morphine consumption

Rescue analgesia of morphine will be given as 3 mg bolus if the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) \> 3 to be repeated after 30 min if pain persists until the VAS \< 4.

Time frame
24 hours postoperatively
2

Mean arterial pressure

Mean arterial pressure will be recorded before skin incision, one minute after skin incision and then recorded regularly every 10 minutes.

Time frame
Till the end of surgery (Up to 2 hours)
3

Heart rate

Heart rate will be recorded before skin incision, one minute after skin incision and then recorded regularly every 10 minutes.

Time frame
Till the end of surgery (Up to 2 hours)
4

Degree of pain

Each patient will be instructed about postoperative pain assessment with the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). VAS (0 represents "no pain" while 10 represents "the worst pain imaginable"). VAS will be assessed at 0, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24 h postoperatively.

Time frame
24 hours postoperatively
