Summary
This is a retrospective chart review. The objective of the current study is to determine the
analgesic efficacy and side effect profile of intravenous acetaminophen when administered to
infants undergoing pyloromyotomy. In addition, recovery characteristics of infants who were
administered intravenous acetaminophen will be compared to infants who did not receive
intravenous acetaminophen to determine if there were any appreciable differences with regard
to postoperative discomfort, PACU time, time to oral feeds and hospital discharge.
