Ketorolac on Postoperative Pain Reduction in Pediatric Patients with Adenotonsillectomy

Completed · Phase 4 · Has a placebo group

Conditions studied: Adenotonsillar Hypertrophy, Obstructive Sleep Apnea, Sleep-Disordered Breathing, Acute Post Operative Pain

In brief

Postoperative pain management in the pediatric patient undergoing 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 showed that only 8.2% of anesthesiologists use NSAIDS for perioperative management of children with OSA undergoing adenotonsillectomy. The investigators propose to conduct a prospective, randomized study to investigate the opioid-sparing effect of perioperative ketorolac in pediatric patients who undergo tonsillectomies.
