Randomized Controlled Trial
Clinical pharmacy intervention post tonsillectomy: a randomized control trial.
Pain control in pediatric patients undergoing tonsillectomy remains a dilemma. Tramadol and ketamine are reported to be an effective analgesic. ⋯ Combined use of peritonsillar infiltration of ketamine 1.0 mg/kg with tramadol 2 mg/kg provided prolong analgesic effects, less pain with no side effect, and better hemodynamic stability compared with using tramadol alone in patients undergoing tonsillectomy.
