Comparative Efficacy of Intravenous Acetaminophen vs. Oral Acetaminophen in Ambulatory Surgery
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Acetaminophen IV Soln, Oral Acetaminophen, and 2 other interventions for Inguinal Hernia. Completed, enrolled 103 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
There is limited research on the clinical outcome differences between intravenous (IV) acetaminophen versus oral (PO) acetaminophen. With the costs of intravenous acetaminophen sometimes being almost 100 times the cost of PO acetaminophen, it is not only important fiscally but also clinically to differentiate the benefits of IV vs PO acetaminophen. The proposed research study is to determine the clinical advantages of IV vs PO acetaminophen during the post-operative recovery time for ambulatory surgery patients by analyzing differences in time to first opioid delivery, pain scores, and patient satisfaction.
