Effect of Paracetamol, Pregabalin and Dexamethasone on Pain and Opioid Requirements in Patients After Hip Operations

Summary

Patients scheduled for primary total hip replacement needs postoperative pain treatment: i.e. morphine. Unfortunately morphine has side-effects: nausea, vomiting, sedation and dizziness, which is unpleasant for the patients and sometimes keeps them at bed longer time than needed. We investigate in new combinations of analgesics for postoperative pain, hoping to minimize the need for morphine and improve the patients pain score after operation.
