Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial
Comparison of morphine and morphine with ketamine for postoperative analgesia.
The purpose of this study was to compare morphine with ketamine to morphine alone in a double-blind investigation of postsurgical pain control. ⋯ IVPCA ketamine in combination with morphine provides superior postsurgical pain relief at lower dosage and with fewer side effects than morphine alone.

Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial
Is lidocaine-prilocaine cream (EMLA) always useful for venous puncture in preoperative autologous blood donation?
The goal of the present study was to evaluate in adults the benefit of the Eutectic Mixture of Local Anesthetics (EMLA) for preoperative autologous blood donation. ⋯ In adults requiring repeated venous punctures, pain from cannulation may be evaluated at the first puncture with a Visual Analogue Scale, thus indicating or not the need for EMLA.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial
Intravenous ketorolac vs diclofenac for analgesia after maxillofacial surgery.
To compare the efficacy of the non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAID), ketorolac and diclofenac in prevention of pain after maxillofacial surgery. ⋯ Parenteral ketorolac (0.4 mg.kg-1 four times in 24 hr) and diclofenac (1 mg.kg-1 twice in 24 hr) were similar, but insufficient alone, for analgesia after maxillofacial surgery.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial
Comparative effects of three doses of intravenous ketorolac or morphine on emesis and analgesia for restorative dental surgery in children.
The optimal dose of intravenous ketorolac tromethamine (ketorolac), a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug has not been determined in children. There are only limited published data on the use of intravenous ketorolac for paediatric analgesia. This study compares the analgesic and emetic effect of three different doses of ketorolac with morphine in paediatric dental surgical out-patients. ⋯ Ketorolac, in all doses studied (0.75, 1.0 and 1.5 mg.kg-1) was as effective an analgesic as morphine 0.1 mg.kg-1 given intravenously at induction to children having restorative dental surgery. Its use was associated with a significant reduction in the incidence of postoperative vomiting.
