Summary
The main hypothesis of this study is that preoperative administration of controlled-release
(CR) oxycodone may reduce acute postoperative pain and improve time to discharge from the
post-anesthesia care unit in patients undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopy for spontaneous
pneumothorax.
The study drug will be compared with intravenous morphine administered 30 minutes before the
end of anesthesia.
