What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. postoperative pain assessment by the CHEOPS score

    Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario Pain Scale (CHEOPS) for Post-Op Pediatric Pain the score is based on 6 crtiteria:

    1. crying
    2. facial expression
    3. child verbal expression
    4. body positiion
    5. touching or grabbing at wound
    6. legs position criterion 1 is given a score of 1-3, criterion 2 and 3 are given score 0-2, criterion 4,5 and 6 are given a score 1-2 making the worst possible score 13 while the least possible score is 4. a total score of 6 or less indicates adequate analgesia

    Measured: the first 24 hours postoperative

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. heart rate

    Measurement of heart rate (beats per minute)

    Measured: at 2,4,8,12 and 24 hours postoperative

  2. Mean arterial blood pressure

    Measurement of Mean arterial blood pressure ( mm Hg)

    Measured: at 2,4,8,12 and 24 hours postoperative
