Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Quality of Recovery -15 (QoR-15) score
The QoR-15 is a clinically acceptable and feasible patient-centred outcome measure after surgery. The score demonstrated good validity, reliability and responsiveness. The score ranges from 0 to 150. O refers to the worst recovery and 150 refers to best recovery.
Secondary outcomes
Visual Analog scale (VAS) score
The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) score is a pain assessment tool. The score ranges from 0 to 10, with 0 indicating no pain and 10 indicating the worst pain ever experienced
Opioid consumption
Total opioid consumption in first postoperative day will be recorded
Extubation time
Time frame from the end of the surgery to extubation will be recorded
