Randomized Controlled TrialKetorolac as a pre-emptive analgesic in retinal detachment surgery: a prospective, randomized clinical trial.
Retinal detachment surgery is associated with a high incidence of post-operative pain, nausea and vomiting. Previous studies demonstrated a beneficial role of pre-emptive analgesia using regional anesthetic blocks for this type of surgery. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the pre-emptive analgesic effect of ketorolac in patients undergoing retinal detachment surgery under general anesthesia. ⋯ The use of ketorolac for pre-emptive analgesia is effective in patients undergoing retinal detachment surgery under general anesthesia.
