BackgroundOnly a few studies have examined the effects of regular acetaminophen drip infusion as postoperative analgesia in lung cancer surgery.MethodsWe consecutively collected the medical data of 282 patients who underwent complete resection for lung cancer and divided them into 2 groups according to their postoperative analgesia;248 patients with conventional analgesia( group C) and 34 who received acetaminophen( group A).ResultsThere was no significant difference in the surgical approach, length of surgical incision, or postoperative pain scale between the 2 groups. Postoperative vital signs and laboratory data were also not significantly different.ConclusionPostoperative analgesia with acetaminophen was conducted safely, but its effect on postoperative pain did not differ from the conventional analgesia.
