Brief Summary

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) are part the multimodal strategy in pain management after surgery. However, major concerns are raised in cardiac surgery given the potential side effects of NSAID with more bleeding and acute kidney injury. The investigators hypothesized that NSAID are safe in the early postoperative course after cardiac surgery with respect to contraindication.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • reduction in pain intensity during chest physiotherapy at 24 hours from the end of surgery

    Pain intensity will be assessed using the NRS at 24 hours from the end of surgery during chest physiotherapy

    at 24 hours

  • NSAIDs reduce postoperative at rest at 24 hours from the end of surgery

    Pain intensity will be assessed at rest at 24 hours from the end surgery using the numerous rating scale (NRS) graded from 1 (no pain) to 10 (high pain intensity)

    at 24 hours

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Change in pain trajectory during the first 7 days after cardiac surgery

    7 days

  • Change in cumulative opioid within 48 hours after surgery

    48 hours

  • Change in pulmonary postoperative complications within 7 days after surgery

    7 days
