A pilot study of nalbuphine versus tramadol administered through continuous intravenous infusion for postoperative pain control in children.
Friday, July 31st, 2009In conclusion, the bolus/infusion regimen of tramadol evaluated in this study appears to have better postoperative analgesic efficacy than the bolus/infusion regimen of nalbuphine. These preliminary results require further confirmation by studies with a sample size enough to clearly identify differences in their efficacy as well as in the rate of adverse events secondary to the administration of each of them.
