Perioperative Outcomes of Patients Who Were Not Candidates for Additional Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs in a Multimodal Pain Control Regimen for Total Knee Arthroplasty
CONCLUSIONS: Patients who were not candidates for NSAIDs had significantly higher pain scores and consumed more morphine after TKA. They also tended to have greater blood loss and the rising of cardiac biomarkers during the first 48 hours after TKA. Hence, these patients may benefit from supplementary analgesia and appropriate perioperative monitoring.PMID:34094006 | PMC:PMC8173236 | DOI:10.4055/cios20154
