Detailed Description
Upon arrival to the operating room, routine monitors (electrocardiogram, pulse oximetry, and non-invasive blood pressure monitor) will be applied; intravenous line will be secured, and prophylactic antiemetic will be provided in the form of slow intravenous injection of 5 mg dexamethasone drugs.
Anesthesia Anesthesia will be induced with 2 mg/kg propofol, 2 mcg/kg fentanyl (lean body weight), and tracheal intubation will be facilitated by 0.6 mg/kg ideal body weight rocuronium after loss of consciousness. Anesthesia will be maintained with isoflurane 1-1.2% in oxygen and 0.1 mg/kg rocuronium every 30 minutes. Fentanyl boluses of 1 mcg/kg will be given if heart rate or/and systolic blood pressure >120% of baseline.
Postoperatively, pain assessments using the visual analogue scale (VAS) will be performed at rest and during movement (knee flexion) at 0.5, 4, 10, 18, and 24 h after leaving the operating room. If the VAS score is > 3 intravenous nalbuphine 0.1-0.2 mg/kg (lean body weight) titrated to response with maximum single dose of 20 mg and maximum daily dose of 160 mg.
Intravenous ondansetron 4 mg will be given to treat postoperative nausea or vomiting
