Abstract

Ibuprofen and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are widely used to block pain and inflammation in a variety of settings. Contrarily, opioid analgesia does not block the inflammatory component of pain and the use of these agents can be accompanied by serious side effects. We conducted a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of intravenous ibuprofen (i.v.-ibuprofen) as a postoperative analgesic. A total of 319 patients were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive 800 i.v.-ibuprofen or placebo every 6 hours; in addition patients had access to morphine at a dose of 1-2 mg every 5 minutes. The primary outcome measure was median morphine consumption within the first 24 hours following surgery. During the first 24 hours of treatment, the median morphine requirement was reduced by 19% (P ≤ 0.001) and resulted in a significant reduction in pain at rest (AUC, 6 to 24 hours and 12 to 24 hours, P < 0.001) and pain with movement (AUC, 6 to 24 hours, P = 0.010 and 12 to 24 hours, P ≤ 0.001) as measured by the visual analog scale (VAS) in patients receiving 800 mg i.v.-ibuprofen compared to placebo. Time to ambulation was significantly faster (P = 0.018) in the i.v.-ib...Continue Reading

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.

Anti-inflammatory Treatments

A drug or substance that reduces inflammation (redness, swelling, and pain) in the body. Anti-inflammatory agents block certain substances in the body that cause inflammation and swelling. Discover the latest research on anti-inflammatory treatments here
