Background and objectives: Postoperative pain influences the long-term outcome of the patient in a big way. We performed a randomized prospective double-blind study to evaluate the effects of intravenous (IV) nalbuphine and compared it with IV pentazocine. The primary objective was to compare the duration of analgesia of IV nalbuphine and IV pentazocine and the secondary objective was to study the side-effect profile.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
