Summary
Postoperative pain management in pediatric patient with tonsillectomy is challenging. Despite
being used in many procedures for postoperative pain management, perioperative ketorolac
usage in pediatric tonsillectomy surgery is very limited. A recent survey shows that only
8.2% of anesthesiologists use NSAIDS for perioperative management of children with OSA
undergoing adenotonsillectomy. We propose to conduct a perspective, randomized study to
investigate the opioid-sparing effect of perioperative ketorolac in pediatric patients who
have tonsillectomy.
