Official title
Effect of Intravenous Acetaminophen on Postoperative Pain of Morbidly Obese Patients Undergoing Laparoscopic Bariatric Surgery: A Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Trial
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Bariatric patients usually require the use of either intravenous or oral opioid medications. The use of opioids, however, is often associated with side-effects such as nausea, sedation pruritus, urinary retention and respiratory depression with often delay patient discharge. This study makes use of intravenous acetaminophen , a non-opioid analgesic preoperatively to determine if this will decrease the use of opioids post-operatively for pain management in morbidly obese patients undergoing laparoscopic bariatric surgery.
