Abstract
Conclusion: A dose of 4 mg.kg(-1) of i.v. ketoprofen provided good pain relief with moderate supplemental PCA-fentanyl requirements during the first six postoperative hours after tonsillectomy in children whereas the effects of 2 mg.kg(-1) of i.v. tramadol did not differ from those of placebo.
