Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

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.

Time frame
Postoperative 24th hours

Secondary outcomes

1

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

Time frame
Postoperative 2nd, 4th, 6th, 12th and 24th hours
2

Opioid consumption

Total opioid consumption in first postoperative day will be recorded

Time frame
Postoperative 24th hours
3

Extubation time

Time frame from the end of the surgery to extubation will be recorded
