Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Total morphine consumption

Rescue analgesia of morphine will be given as 3 mg bolus if the visual analogue scale (VAS) ≥ 4 to be repeated after 30 min if pain persists until the VAS\< 4.

Time frame
24 hours postoperatively

Secondary outcomes

1

Time to the 1st rescue analgesia

Time to 1st request for the rescue of analgesia (time from the end of surgery till first dose of morphine administrated) will be recorded.

Time frame
24 hours postoperatively
2

Intraoperative fentanyl consumption

Intraoperative fentanyl consumption will be recorded.Additional fentanyl bolus dosages of 0.5 µg/kg IV will be administered if mean arterial blood pressure and heart rate elevated more than 20% of the baseline (after exclusion of other causes).

Time frame
Intraoperatively
3

Pain degree

Each patient will be instructed about postoperative pain assessment with the visual analogue scale (VAS) (20), from 0 to 10 (0 represents "no pain" while 10 represents "the worst pain imaginable").Rescue analgesia of morphine will be given as 3 mg bolus if the VAS ≥ 4 to be repeated after 30 min if pain persists until the VAS\< 4. VAS will be assessed at 30min, 2, 6,12 and 24 h postoperatively

Time frame
24 hours postoperatively
4

Mean arterial blood pressure

Intraoperative hemodynamic parameters: Mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) will be recorded at baseline, after performing of block, and every 15 min till the end of surgery.

Time frame
Till the end of surgery (Up to 24hours)
