Rescue analgesia time
Time for first analgesia requirement
Time frame: First 24 hours postoperatively
Patient's pain score
Pain score will be done by visual analog scale (VAS) (minimum 0 = no pain, while maximum 10 cm = worst possible pain). Pain score will be recorded just after extubation (taken as 0 h) and after 1, 2, 4, 6, 12, 18 and 24 h later. Patients will be instructed about the usage of VAS scalebefore the operation.
Time frame: First 24 hours postoperatively
The total analgesic consumption
Postoperative analgesia will be provided with intramuscular (IM) meperidine 50 mg to both groups when the VAS score is ≥4. The total meperidine consumption will be recorded.
Time frame: First 24 hours postoperatively
