Ketamine Versus Tramadol As an Adjunct To PCA Morphine for Postoperative Analgesia After Major Upper Abdominal Surgery: a Prospective, Comparative, Randomized Trial.
Abstract
Patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) with morphine is commonly used to provide analgesia following major surgery, but is not sufficient as a monotherapy strategy. This study aimed to compare the adjunctive analgesic effect of ketamine versus tramadol on postoperative analgesia provided via PCA-morphine in patients undergoing major upper abdominal surgeries.
