Randomized Controlled Trial
The effect of tramadol plus paracetamol on consumption of morphine after coronary artery bypass grafting.
To compare the effects of oral tramadol+paracetamol combination on morphine consumption following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in the patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) protocol. ⋯ Tramadol+paracetamol combination along with PCA morphine improves analgesia and reduces morphine requirement up to 50% after CABG, compared with morphine PCA alone.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane block for postoperative analgesia in living liver donors: A prospective, randomized, double-blinded clinical trial.
Transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block is a peripheral nerve block that reduces postoperative pain, nausea, vomiting and the need for postoperative opioids following various types of abdominal surgery. The primary aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of TAP block on postoperative analgesia and opioid consumption in living liver donors in whom a right "J" abdominal incision was used. ⋯ The TAP block reduced 24-h postoperative morphine consumption and contributed to analgesia in living liver donors who underwent upper abdominal wall incisions.
