Randomized Controlled Trial
Parecoxib sodium reduces the need for opioids after tonsillectomy in children: a double-blind placebo-controlled randomized clinical trial.
Postoperative pain is a common phenomenon after pediatric tonsillectomy. This prospective randomized double-blind placebo-controlled clinical trial was performed to evaluate the analgesic efficacy of intravenous parecoxib sodium in children undergoing tonsillectomy. ⋯ A single intravenous injection of parecoxib sodium 1 mg·kg(-1) after anesthesia induction is an effective method for the control of postoperative pain. It provides a morphine-sparing effect, prolongs the time to first rescue analgesic, and reduces PONV in children undergoing tonsillectomy.
