Randomized Controlled Trial
Intraoperative ketorolac dose of 15mg versus the standard 30mg on early postoperative pain after spine surgery: A randomized, blinded, non-inferiority trial.
The primary aim of this study is to show the non-inferiority of 15mg intraoperative dose of ketorolac as compared to the standard 30mg ketorolac by looking at the visual analog scale pain (VAS) scores 4h after an adult spine surgery. ⋯ Ketorolac 30mg intravenous was not superior to 15mg intravenous for post-operative pain management after spine surgery. However, 15mg failed to meet the pre-specified criteria for non-inferiority to the 30mg dose.

Comparative Study
Perioperative risks of narcolepsy in patients undergoing general anesthesia: A case-control study.
To compare the perioperative outcomes between patients with narcolepsy and matched controls undergoing anesthetic management. ⋯ Narcoleptic patients had similar intraoperative courses as the matched controls, including phase I anesthetic recovery. However, they had a higher rate of emergency response team activations than the controls, which suggests that patients with narcolepsy may be at increased perioperative risk.
