  1. aBonferroni correction. PVC Peripheral Venous Cannulation. PACU Post Anesthesia Care Unit. NRS Numerical Rating Scale. Data are median and interquartile range (IQR), pain are numerical rang scale (NRS). Nurse-Low means patients that the PACU nurse evaluates to be an ordinary pain responder and Nurse-High was evaluated to be a high pain responder. Forecast-Low means ordinary pain responder and Forecast-High means high pain responder, according to evaluation by patients themselves before surgery
