What is being measured

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

  1. postoperative pain

    assessed by Prince Henry Pain Scale by investigators at 8:00 am after surgeries until discharge from ICU

    Measured: 1-3d after abdominal surgeries

  2. recovery of gastrointestinal function

    assessed by time to first defecation

    Measured: from admission to 30 days after abdominal surgeries

  3. white blood cell count(10^9 /L)

    evaluation of postoperative inflammatory response, blood sample collected at 6:00am for 1-3d after surgeries

    Measured: 1-3d after abdominal surgeries

  4. C-reactive protein(mg/L)

    evaluation of postoperative inflammatory response, blood sample collected at 6:00am for 1-3d after surgeries

    Measured: 1-3d after abdominal surgeries

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. percentage of time within target sedation range

    assessed by Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale by investigators at 8:00 am after surgeries until discharge from ICU, target range is -2 to +1

    Measured: 1-3d after abdominal surgeries

  2. risk of hypotension requiring interventions

    systolic blood pressure <80 mmHg or/and diastolic blood pressure <50 mmHg is considered hypotension

    Measured: 1-3d after abdominal surgeries

  3. risk of bradycardia requiring interventions

    heart rate <40/min is considered bradycardia

    Measured: 1-3d after abdominal surgeries
