Outcomes and postoperative analgesic management
pain
Patients' demographic data, such as age, weight, and height, ASA classification, duration of anesthesia and surgery, passive (at rest) and active (from supine to 45° sitting position) postoperative VAS scores at 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, and 24 h after surgery (VAS 0 = no pain, VAS 10 = worst pain imaginable) were recorded.The patients were administered 1000 mg paracetamol iv around 30 min before the procedure ended. Following the procedure, the patients were observed in the recovery unit for follow-up. In the postoperative phase, patients in both groups were administered 1000 mg of paracetamol at 6-h intervals after first dose is given. When the VAS score was determined to be ≥ 4, 1 mg/kg tramadol was administered as a rescue opioid analgesic. IV 50 mg dexketoprofen was administered in the ward when the VAS score was greater than 2.
