Abstract
Tonsillectomy is one of the most common pediatric surgeries and results in considerable post-operative pain.1 Insufficiently controlled pain is costly, risks physiological and psychological consequences with multi-modal analgesia widely recommended to minimize opioid based agents.1 2 We determined adherence to multi-modal analgesia guidelines and assessed cost effectiveness.
