Ketorolac on Postoperative Pain Reduction in Pediatric Patients With Adenotonsillectomy

• Status: Not yet recruiting

• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

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.
