Protocol summary

Summary
The aim of this study is to compare analgesic efficacy of intravenous injection of acetaminophen with rectal acetaminophen for postoperative tonsillectomy. In this double-blind randomized clinical trial, 70 patients (3-14 y) with American society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) status I and II will be recruited. Patients with emergency operation, allergy to acetaminophen, concurrent diseases, convulsion, precedence of chronic pain and consumption of analgesics and Acetaminophen in the past two weeks will be excluded from study. The patients are randomized in two groups who receive intravenous Acetaminophen (15mg/kg) or rectal acetaminophen (40mg/kg) after anesthesia induction. The induction and maintenance of anesthesia will be same in both groups. The post-operative pain will be evaluated by Wong-Baker Face Pain Scale (FPS). The homodynamic changes, as well as possible complications will also be determined during first 24 hours hospital stay. The observer and the patients will be blind to the groups. In the recovery room HR,SBP,DBP will be recorded every 15 minutes, pain score (face scale), agitation, Aldret score will be recorded every 15 minutes. When the patients obtain score 8 they will leave recovery room. After operation in the ward, pain score will be measured every 4 hours. In recovery, patients with score of less than 5 will receive IV Fentanyl 0.5 µg/kg and time of receiving analgesic will be recorded. Children will be discharged after 24 hours.
