Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  comparison of transdermal buprenorphine and fentanyl for postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing infraumblical and lower limb orthopedic surgeries  TECHNIQUE Pre-operatively: Patches will be applied on the hairless areas of upper arm, 12–16 hours before surgery. After application, patches will be pressed firmly for 30 seconds, and the patient will be monitored for any skin irritation and episodes of respiratory depression and hypoxia by pulse oximetry overnight. A baseline recording of the vital parameters- heart rate (HR), non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP), respiratory rate (RR) and oxygen saturation (SpO2) will be done.  
Comparator Agent  transdermal buprenorphine  Patches will be applied on the hairless areas of upper arm, 12–16 hours before surgery. After application, patches will be pressed firmly for 30 seconds, and the patient will be monitored for any skin irritation and episodes of respiratory depression and hypoxia by pulse oximetry overnight.  
Comparator Agent  transdermal fentanyl  Patches will be applied on the hairless areas of upper arm, 12–16 hours before surgery. After application, patches will be pressed firmly for 30 seconds, and the patient will be monitored for any skin irritation and episodes of respiratory depression and hypoxia by pulse oximetry overnight.

2. Total rescue analgesia received in 48 hours.
 
1. To compare the efficacy of the study drugs in terms of duration of analgesia will be measured every 2 hourly upto 12 hours and then 4 hourly upto 48 hours
2. Total rescue analgesia received in 48 hours.
 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
1. Hemodynamic variability
2. Side effects like pruritus, respiratory depression (SpO2 less than 90% or
respiratory rate 8), sedation (as per Ramsay Sedation Scale score of 5 or 6), and postoperative nausea and vomiting. Outcomes will be noted and analyzed at different timelines for 48 hours.

Brief Summary  

Transdermal opioids are newer modality in use for the control of postoperative pain because of their noninvasiveness, longer duration of action, sustained blood levels and  minimal side effects. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of buprenorphine transdermal patch 10 μg·h‑1 and fentanyl transdermal patch 25 μg·h‑1 for relief of pain in the  postoperative period in patients undergoing infraumbilical and lower limb orthopaedic surgeries. Our study will be a prospective, interventional, randomized, single blinded clinical study in 60 patients posted for infraumbilical  and lower limb orthopaedic surgeries based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria mentioned below. Patients will be  randomly allocated into the two groups ‘B’ and ‘F’ using sealed envelope technique. Mean Numeric rating scale score, total rescue analgesic requirement, drug-related adverse effects, and haemodynamic status will be evaluated till 48 hours in the postoperative period. The data will then be compiled, tabulated and statistically analyzed with the latest software.
