Evaluation criteria
pain
The primary outcomes were to determine the intensity of the pain using VAS from 0-100 in the first 24 hours. The VAS score was assessed every 10 minutes in the PACU for 2 hours and every 6 hours during the first 24 hours after the operation in the ENT department. Nefopam was administered in the cases where VAS exceeded 30. Opioid requirements were recorded during the PACU admission period. The occurrence of side effects of opioids and ketamine was noted.
