IVRA: Intravenous Regional Analgesia
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Tourniquet, a compressing device, otherwise its use in intravenous regional anesthesia, is commonly used in particular orthopedic surgeries. From the previous documented effectiveness and safety of intravenous (IV) administration of ketorolac in the circulatory-isolated limb as a part of intravenous regional anesthesia; we hypothesized that in orthopedic surgeries done with tourniquet, intravenous (IV) administration of ketorolac after tourniquet inflation, will act as intravenous regional analgesia. So, it will prolong the postoperative analgesic duration as a primary outcome.

Placebo Comparator: control received 10 ml normal saline |
Drug: normal saline
After conformation of circulatory isolation of the operated limb by the inflated tourniquet, 10 ml normal saline will be injected
|
Active Comparator: ketorolac received 15 mg ketorolac tromethamine diluted in normal saline in a total volume of 10 ml |
Drug: Ketorolac
After conformation of circulatory isolation of the operated limb by the inflated tourniquet, 15 mg ketorolac tromethamine diluted in normal saline in a total volume of 10 ml will be injected

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- The postoperative analgesic duration [within 24 hours after the surgery]
the time measured from tourniquet inflation to the first request of analgesia by the patient
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Postoperative pain at rest [within the first 24 hours after surgery]
10 centimetres visual analog scale (VAS) for pain, where zero is equal to no pain and ten indicates the worst possible pain
- Total postoperative analgesic consumption [within the first 24 hours after surgery]
Patients with visual analog scale more than 3 will receive postoperative analgesic
