Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Visual Analog Score

    To show the non-inferiority of 15 mg intraoperative dose of ketorolac as compared to the standard 30 mg ketorolac by looking at the VAS scores 4 hours after an adult spine surgery. Minimum clinically significant decrease in VAS pain score is 18 mm.

    Four hours after surgery

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Morphine Usage After Surgery

    8 hours and 24 hours after surgery

  • Morphine Adverse Effects

    First 24 hours

  • Postoperative Bleeding

    24 hours after surgery
