NCT05366777

Brief Summary

This prospective, randomized, double-blinded study is designed to evaluate the postoperative analgesic effect of the intravenous acetaminophen/ibuprofen fixed-dose combination in patients undergoing video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS). We hypothesize that the intravenous acetaminophen/ibuprofen fixed-dose combination can significantly reduce postoperative opioid consumption and pain severity in patients with VATS.

Study Arms (2)

Maxigesic group

EXPERIMENTAL

At the end of induction, the Maxigesic group will receive intravenous acetaminophen (1000 mg)/ibuprofen (300 mg) for 15 min, every 6 hours, a total of 4 times.

Drug: acetaminophen/ibuprofen fixed-dose combination

Control group

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

At the end of induction, the control group will receive intravenous normal saline with the same volume and same time points as the intervention group receives.

Drug: Saline

Masking Details
The nurse who is not involved in this study knows the allocated group and sends the bottle of the drug which looks the same in both groups, to the operation room and ward. The care provider, investigator, patients, and outcomes assessor will be not informed of the infusion of the drug by not attaching an identifiable label so that it cannot be distinguished from normal saline.
