Protocol summary

Summary
Objectives: Paracetamol is one of the cyclooxygenase inhibitors which is used for pain relief after surgery. Controlling postoperative pain after surgery is one of the complex challenges of the health system and may be a conflict between doctors and patients. Therefore, using low-risk and non-opoid drugs with fewer complications will enhance users' satisfaction and safety. Design: By a questionnaire, personal information, history of smoking, consumption of the NSAIDs, history of allergy to drugs, type of medication or surgery and duration of general anesthesia were reported. Severity of pain was evaluated by visual analoug scale (VAS) (100-mm) and the amount of using opioid which was used after surgery, was recorded in ward. Methods: The patients were allocated to odd and even groups and they gave their informed consent for the injection of IV paracetamol. The patients were explained about the type of drug and its possible complications and how their postoperative pain was measured. Inclusion criteria were 1) 15 to 45-year-old patients, and 2) class I patients (ASA) and the exclusion criteria were 1) the patients out of age range of 15 to 45 years, 2) patients other than class I. The same premedication, anesthesia induction and the maintenance of the anesthesia was used for both groups. After preparation for induction of anesthesia and infusion of muscle relaxant, the patient was intubated by a fiberoptic device. After surgery and transferring patient to recovery room and regaining the patient full consciousness, pain was measured. Interventions: Immediately after surgery, IV-paracetamol was infused (15 mg/Kg in 100cc of normal saline during 10 minutes as single dose) in recovery room. Blood pressure, heart rate and O2 Saturation were also recorded. Main outcome measures: Hemodynamic information of the patient in recovery room and pain, that was measured by visual analog scale100-mm, were evaluated. Pain was measured 12 hours after injection of paracetamol and using opoids was also evaluated after 24 hours by VAS 100-mm. Patient's level of satisfaction was evaluated as poor (0), moderate (1), good (2), and excellent (3). Finally, the medication side effects such as nausea, vomiting, gasterointestinal upset, allergic reactions, urinary retention, diarrhea, and constipation were evaluated.
