Dose Response of Ketorolac in Knee Arthroscopy

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Ketorolac is administered as current practice to the majority of patients undergoing knee arthroscopy, the appropriate dose of ketorolac to be administered has not been evaluated.

Clinical Trial Description

Past studies have examined different doses of ketorolac administered to patients after spinal fusion surgery and found that 7.5 mg every 6 hours was as effective as 15 or 30 mg every 6 hours in decreasing postoperative pain and patient opiate consumption. Since ketorolac side effects such as gastrointestinal and surgical site bleeding seem to be dose related, utilizing a lower dose of ketorolac may be more efficacious. ;
