To investigate the effect of noise isolation during general anesthesia on the incidence of moderate to severe postoperative pain in patients undergoing major abdominal surgery. The aim of this study was to determine whether noise isolation can reduce the Incidence of moderate to severe postoperative pain and analgesic use.

RECRUITINGThe incidence of moderate to severe postoperative pain
Moderate to severe postoperative pain:NRS score ≥ 4 (Pain was assessed using NRS scale of 0-10, with 0 being no pain and 10 being most painful)
Time frame: From ending of the surgery to 24 hours postoperatively
Patient controlled analgesia pump analgesic consumption
Analgesic requirements was assessed by recording the volume of patient controlled analgesia pump
Time frame: From the time when the surgery was completed until to 24 hours after surgery
Patient controlled analgesia pump analgesic consumption
Analgesic requirements was assessed by recording the volume of patient controlled analgesia pump
Time frame: From the time when the surgery was completed until to 48 hours after surgery
The incidence of additional analgesic requirements
the percentage of patients who received additional analgesic out of the total number of patients in the group
Time frame: From the time when the surgery was completed until to 48 hours after surgery
Maximum pain score (NRS score) at 0-48 hours postoperatively
NRS score: Pain was assessed on a scale of 0-10, with 0 being no pain and 10 being most painful
Time frame: From ending of the surgery to 48 hours postoperatively
The incidence of moderate to severe postoperative pain
Moderate to severe postoperative pain:NRS score ≥ 4 (Pain was assessed using NRS scale of 0-10, with 0 being no pain and 10 being most painful)
Time frame: From ending of the surgery to 48 hours postoperatively

Accumulative postoperative pain NRS
Accumulative NRS score (Pain was assessed using NRS scale of 0-10, with 0 being no pain and 10 being most painful) at 6, 12, 24 and 48 hours after surgery
Time frame: From ending of the surgery to 48 hours postoperatively
