Official title

Ketorolac as a Strategy for Reducing Post-operative Opioid Requirements in Children With Obstructive Sleep Apnea Undergoing Adenotonsillectomy: a Randomized Controlled Trial

Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

This randomized prospective study aims to determine the effect of ketorolac on the total dose of morphine required to achieve postoperative analgesia in children with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) undergoing adenotonsillectomy. Participants will be randomly assigned to a study group where they will receive ketorolac in addition to the standard of care treatment or will receive only the standard of care pain management. The researchers hypothesize that by administering ketorolac at the end of the procedure once hemostasis has been achieved, it will be possible to decrease the amount of morphine administered in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU). This study aims to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the efficacy and safety of the current standard post-operative analgesic regimen employed at the study institution, in which opioid analgesia currently plays a prominent role.
