Pain trends after extubation (mean ± SEM). ANOVA with repeated measures was used to compare the pain scores between the two subgroups at successive time-points, *P < 0.0001. All of the time “points” for observation along the X-axis correspond to the time periods for pain scoring after extubation. T1: 0-2 h, T2: 4-6 h, T3: 10-12 h, T4: 20-22 h, T5: 26-28 h, T6: 34-36 h, T7: 44-46 h, T8: 50-52 h, T9: 58-60 h, T10: 68-70 h. VAS AUC (area under curve): SI = 30.41 vs. CINB = 28.05, P = 0.002. VAS: visual analogue scale
