Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of intravenous ibuprofen versus acetaminophen as pain relief options for children aged 5-12 undergoing day-care tonsillectomy with general anesthesia.
- Conducted at a military hospital in Pakistan, 100 pediatric patients were divided into two groups to receive either intravenous ibuprofen or acetaminophen post-anesthesia induction, with pain levels measured upon recovery and discharge.
- Results showed that ibuprofen significantly reduced pain at discharge compared to acetaminophen, indicating it is a more effective pain management option for these patients.
