Summary
Number of patients with unsatisfactory pain relief defined as average visual analog scale
(VAS) more than 5 with or without requirement of IVPCA for pain relief during the first 48
hours postoperative period will be compared between the two groups and form the primary
outcome for the study. Postoperative pain intensity will be measured by Visual Analog Scale
(VAS) with 0- being no pain and 10-being maximum pain and the analgesic efficacy in both
groups will also be evaluated by the amount of total narcotic consumption (measured with IV
morphine equivalent doses of analgesics used to provide pain relief).
