Analytical Evaluation of Injectable Pain Relievers for Enhanced Post-Operative Care
Abstract: One hundred ASA I and II patients undergoing general and gynecological procedures were randomly divided into two groups of 50, each receiving a different analgesic treatment. Vital parameters, including heart rate, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation (SpO₂), blood pressure, sedation levels, pain scores (VAS), side effects, and the need for rescue analgesics, were measured at intervals of 0–4, 5–12, and 24 hours post-surgery. The findings indicate that one of the tested …
