  • Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are often used for managing acute postoperative pain after surgery, but their use in cardiac procedures raises concerns about risks like increased bleeding and kidney injury.
  • The KETOPAIN trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of ketoprofen in treating postoperative pain in cardiac surgery patients, involving 238 participants randomized to receive either ketoprofen or a placebo after the procedure.
  • The study will assess various outcomes, including pain intensity at 24 hours post-surgery, opioid consumption, complications, and quality of life up to three months afterward.
