SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Preoperatively and the 1st 24 hours post-op

Pain scores using VAS scale will be recorded pre-operatively, in the PACU, and every 4 hours until 24 hours post-op. The VAS is a 10 point scale, where 0 = no pain and 10 = the worst pain a subject has ever felt. The highest value 10, indicates an extreme self reported level of pain.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Intraoperative period

Population: Intraoperative period: Intraoperative Minimum Alveolar Concentration (MAC) of desflurane

The average MAC concentration of desflurane will be recorded during the intraoperative period. The Minimum Alveolar Concentration (MAC) of an inhaled anesthetic is the alveolar (or end-expiratory) concentration at which 50% of patients will not show a motor response to a standardized surgical incision.
