Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial
[Analgesic efficacy of ketorolac and fentanyl in pediatric intensive care].
To evaluate the efficacy of the two different drugs (Ketorolac and Fentanyl), used singularly or in association, in the management of postoperative pain in Picu. ⋯ Ketorolac presents a good efficient analgesia, particularly evident when administered in continuous intravenous infusion. However, the association of this NSAID with an opioid drug can be favourably proposed in postoperative pain therapy of moderate to severe grade, since the confirmed analgesic efficacy is not aggravated by important side effects.
