What is being measured

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

  1. Postoperative Wellbeing

    Assessed with the post anaesthesiological questionnaire (ANP) Wellbeing assessed with the "Anaesthesiological Questionnaire" (ANP) which is a self-rating method for the assessment of postoperative complaints and patient wellbeing. The rating scales from 0 to 3, with 0="none" and 3="strongly". Higher wellbeing values represent a better outcome.

    Measured: 1 day after surgery

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Pain assessment

    Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) in the postanaesthesia care unit. Pain will be assessed with the (verbal) Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) and statistically evaluated for differences between the two study groups. NRS scales from 1 to 10, with 1 describing the lowest pain score and 10 the highest pain score. Lower NRS describes a better outcome.

    Measured: approximately 2 hours after surgery

  2. Administered milligram of opioids for pain medication

    Assessment of administered morphine equivalents

    Measured: approximately 2 hours after surgery

  3. Postoperative complications in the postanaesthesia care unit

    Number of participants with following complications Delirium, postoperative cognitive dysfunction, postoperative nausea and vomiting, aspiration

    Measured: approximately 2 hours after surgery
