What was measured

Length of hospital stay from time of surgery to time of discharge.

Analysis population: all participants enrolled with the intent to treat

Groups in this outcome

Opioid-sparing Group

Intravenous (IV) Caldolor (ibuprofen) (800mg every 8 hours) initiated during surgery and oral acetaminophen 1000mg every 6 hours initiated post-operatively and continued for the duration of the hospital stay (an expected average stay of 2 days) or 48 hours, whichever comes first. Breakthrough pain will be treated with rescue narcotics (IV morphine 2-4mg every 2 hours and oral oxycodone 5-15mg every 4 hours immediately post-operatively through discharge, an expected average stay of 2 days). Hydromorphone (IV 0.5-2mg every 2 hours and oral 2-4mg every 4 hours) will be used in patients with morphine or oxycodone allergy or intolerance. IV Caldolor (IV Ibuprofen): Compare addition of IV Caldolor (IV ibuprofen) intraoperatively and postoperatively against IV ibuprofen placebo added intraoperatively and postoperatively.

Standard Treatment Group

IV Caldolor placebo will be initiated during surgery and oral acetaminophen 1000mg every 6 hours will be initiated post-operatively and continued for the duration of the hospital stay (an expected average stay of 2 days) or 48 hours, whichever comes first. Breakthrough pain will be treated with rescue narcotics (IV morphine 2-4mg every 2 hours and oral oxycodone 5-15mg every 4 hours immediately post-operatively through discharge, an expected average stay of 2 days). Hydromorphone (IV 0.5-2mg every 2 hours and oral 2-4mg every 4 hours) will be used in patients with morphine or oxycodone allergy or intolerance. IV Ibuprofen placebo: Compare addition of IV ibuprofen placebo intraoperatively and postoperatively against IV Caldolor (IV ibuprofen) added intraoperatively and postoperatively.
