Summary
Acetaminophen is frequently used as an adjunct for pain management in pediatric surgical
patients. The drug is available in an over the counter, inexpensive oral form as well as a
considerably more expensive intravenous form. This study will compare opioid requirements and
acetaminophen plasma levels post operatively for two dosing regimens to compare oral versus
intravenous routes given pre operatively.
