Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
The degree of postoperative pain in the first 24 hours post-operative
Time Frame: first 24 hours post-operative
Postoperative pain will be assessed by the numerical rating scale (NRS); 0 no pain while 10 is the maximum pain) after discharge to the ward ,and at 6, 12, 18, 24 hours.
Secondary Outcomes
- Time to first analgesic requirement(first 24 hours post-operative)
- Total dose of intraoperative consumption of fentanyl(intraoperative)
- Total dose of rescue analgesia in the first 24hr postoperative(first 24 hours post-operative)
