What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Post operative pain and bleeding in patient undergone tonsillectomy
Postoperative Bleeding: Occurrence of postoperative reactionary and secondary bleeding
Reactionary bleeding: If bleeding occurs within the first 24 hours after surgery.
Secondary bleeding: If bleeding occurs beyond 24 hours within 7-10 days after surgery.
Pain:
Pain will be evaluated by Visual analog score on 1st postoperative day,3rd postoperative day and 7th post operative, visual analog score will be 0 (no pain)1 to 3 (mild),3 to 6(moderate),6 to 9 (severe),10(worst).
Measured: 24 hours after surgery and beyond 24 hours
