Clinical Trial Summary

Intravenous (IV) acetaminophen entered the Canadian market recently and children with acute pain following a trauma are ideal candidates for the IV formulation as it may improve analgesia and consequently decrease the amount of opioids needed to achieve pain control. Due to the limited data on bioavailability, adverse effect profile and efficacy of IV versus oral acetaminophen, it is of paramount importance to generate evidence-based data to guide clinicians with a rational choice of route of administration of acetaminophen. Therefore, we propose a pilot study to inform a future large randomized controlled trial (RCT) to compare pharmacokinetics, feasibility, preliminary effects and side effects profile of oral versus IV acetaminophen in children admitted for surgical fixation of a long-bone fracture.


Clinical Trial Description

Patients admitted for a long-bone fracture needing surgical fixation are generally initially treated with intranasal and/or IV opioids in association to oral acetaminophen and ibuprofen. Following surgery they are treated with a combination of morphine and acetaminophen. To address the issue of opioid epidemics, the Pediatric Orthopaedic Society of North America recommends reduction of their prescription as much as possible by promoting, among others, use of multimodal analgesia after surgery. The current proposal aims to improve post-operative pain control in children following a surgical fixation of a long-bone fracture and decrease the use of opioids through better co-analgesia. As such, this study aims to assess the pharmacokinetics (PK) and the efficacy of oral versus IV formulations of acetaminophen after surgery for long bone fractures in children. ;
