The efficacy of intravenous paracetamol versus tramadol for postoperative analgesia after adenotonsillectomy in children.
To evaluate the efficacy and the quality of recovery with intravenous (IV) paracetamol versus tramadol for postoperative analgesia after adenotonsillectomy in children. ⋯ The IV formulation of paracetamol was associated with similar analgesic properties and early recovery to that of IV tramadol after adenotonsillectomy in children.
