Why the study?
Appropriate postoperative pain management can accelerate pain reduction and shorten hospital stays, prompting a comparison between continuous fentanyl and intravenous ketorolac on pain target achievement and length of stay following orthopedic surgery.
Does continuous fentanyl compared to intravenous ketorolac improve pain targets achievement and reduce length of stay in patients after orthopedic surgery?
Cohort (n=59)
No
Does continuous fentanyl compared to intravenous ketorolac improve pain targets achievement and reduce length of stay in patients after orthopedic surgery?
Intravenous ketorolac and continuous fentanyl are equally effective for postoperative orthopedic pain, but ketorolac is associated with a shorter hospital length of stay.

Windari et al. (2020) conducted a cohort in Postoperative orthopedic pain (n=59). Continuous fentanyl vs. Intravenous ketorolac was evaluated on Length of Stay (LOS) (p=0.000).
