Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The relationship between HFVI values at the end of surgery (just before awakening from general anesthesia) and maximum NRS (greater than/less than 3) from the end of surgery to the day after surgery.
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The relationship between HFVI value immediately before extubation (before awakening from general anesthesia) after completion of surgery and morphine usage from the end of surgery to the next day of surgery. The relationship between the change in HFVI before and after regional anesthesia (initial local anesthesia via epidural catheter or nerve block after induction of general anesthesia) and the maximum NRS (greater than or less than 3) from the end of surgery to the next day after surgery. The relationshiip between HFVI values at the end of surgery and the incidence of delirium diagnosed by CAM-ICU (diagnostic tool for delirium in the ICU). The relationship between HFVI values immediately before extubation after surgery (before awakening from general anesthesia) and the incidence of PONV up to the day after surgery.
