Early Postoperative Analgesic Outcomes Following Pre-Induction Intravenous Ibuprofen in Children Undergoing Hypospadias Repair: A Randomized Controlled Study.

Ninety-three patients completed the study (Group I, n = 47; Group C, n = 46).

Moderate-to-severe pain (Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, Consolability ≥ 4) in the postanesthesia care unit occurred less frequently in the ibuprofen group, whereas incidence of emergence delirium was similar between groups.

No significant differences were observed in the pain scores on postoperative days 1 and 2, intraoperative opioid use, the laryngeal mask airway removal time, or adverse events.
