Summary
Patients scheduled for a tonsillectomy need postoperative pain treatment. Some of the most
widely used postoperative analgetics (NSAIDs) sometimes cause rebleeding in the postoperative
period, and another often used analgetic, morphine, causes nausea and vomiting. The
researchers therefore will investigate new combinations of postoperative analgesics in hopes
of improving pain and the need for opioids during the postoperative period.
