Description of intervention(s) / exposure
A single blood sample of 0,5 ml will be collected from already indwelling arterial or venous lines at the same time as other samples are needed for clinical reasons.

Pain will be assessed according to normal protocol every 3rd hour. This is done by observation of the patient.

Blood samples will be collected preoperatively (<24 h before surgery) and after 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours post-surgery.

Overall duration of study participation is 72 hours except for the surgeons control of the wound at discharge from hospital (does not differ from normal routine)

The observations will be performed by the ICU nurse tending the patient (pain assessment) , the surgeon (wound observation) and the study researcher (collecting blood samples).

The number of blood samples collected post surgery can be prematurely completed if the indwelling lines stops to work. No separate punctures are allowed.
During the study time other clinical samples also will be checked according to normal routine. We are going to look att C reactive protein levels but no separate samples of this will be taken for the study.
