1-Postoperative pain will be assessed using 0-10 visual analogue score (VAS) where 0 represents no pain and 10 worst pain imaginable (intolerable). Pain scores will be recorded at 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, and 24h postoperative.
2-The total dose of nitroglycerin (mg) that will be used for each patients will be recorded. The quality of surgical field will also be recorded using Fromm and Boezaart scale [12], where 0 grade represent no bleeding, 1 grade represent slight bleeding & no need for blood suction, 2 grade represent slight bleeding & sometimes blood has to be suctioned, 3 grade represent slight bleeding & blood has to be often suctioned (operative field is clear for few seconds after suction), 4 grade represent average bleeding & blood has to be frequent suctioned (operative field is clearly visible immediately after suction), 5 grade represent massive bleeding & regular blood suction will be required ( continuous non stopped bleeding that may be faster than suction and require another suction and multiple gauze; hence surgical field will become more obscured and non-visible that will make the operation so hard and may be difficult). Time to first postoperative rescue analgesic request, as well as total analgesic consumption in the first 24 h postoperatively will be recorded. Incidence of complications including postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), dizziness, somnolence, visual disturbance, headache, urine retention, hypotension, bradycardia, confusion, and sedation (will be assessed on a four-point scale where 0 = alert, 1 = quietly awake, 2 = asleep but easily aroused, and 3 = deep sleep) will be recorded during first 24 hours postoperatively. |
