Abstract :

Aims of Study: Find out the utility of IV Paracetamol for the purpose of post operative analgesia, To evaluate the efficacy and safety of IV Paracetamol for post operative analgesia, To compare the effectiveness of IV Paracetamol with the IV Diclofenac.

Material and Method: Study was conducted on 50 adult patients of either sex and ASA grade 1 and 2 undergoing laproscopic cholecystectomy, Patients were randomly divided into two groups; each group included 25 patients. Group D, patients received diclofenac 75 mg intravenous. Group P, patients received Paracetamol 1 gm intravenous. The drug was given 30 min before extubation intravenously. HR, BP, and pain scores were recorded immediately after surgery and at 30 min, 4, 8, 12 and 24 hr after surgery. Pain scores were evaluated using a 0–10 mm VAS (0 – no pain, to 10 – worst pain imaginable). Inj Diclofenac was used as rescue analgesia when VAS score>4.

CONCLUSION: IV paracetamol is safe and effective alternative for postoperative analgesia compared to IV diclofenac; which results in prolonged duration of analgesia and significant reduction in requirement of supplementary analgesic postoperatively without any significant side effect.
