The Effects of Peri-operative Pregabalin Administration on Post-operative Analgesia in Patients Undergoing Coronary Bypass Grafting

Summary

We hypothesize that the perioperative administration of pregabalin will significantly decrease pain scores and post-operative opioid requirements for patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting, and reduces the incidence of opioid-induced side effects such as respiratory depression. This may reduce ICU admission and possibly abbreviate length of hospital stay.
