Randomized Controlled Trial
The effect of perioperative ketorolac on pain control in pregnancy termination.
The study was conducted to evaluate the effect of perioperative ketorolac on pain associated with first-trimester aspiration abortion. ⋯ Perioperative ketorolac has the same effect on postoperative pain as determined by VAS as placebo. The use of ketorolac at the 30-mg dose cannot be recommended for better pain control for patients undergoing first-trimester pregnancy termination by suction curettage. The only positive effect of the use of ketorolac compared to placebo was a reduction in the use of acetaminophen. Ketorolac use does not appear to change blood loss in the operating room or through postoperative day 1 compared to placebo.
