This is a research study to determine if giving acetaminophen intravenously in hte operating
room will decrease the number of patients who require additional pain medicine, such as
morphine, after surgery in the recovery room.
Primary Specific Aim: To determine if adding an intraoperative dose of intravenous
acetaminphen to usual and customary analgesics during ambulatory surgery impacts the
proportion of patients remaining opioid-free in the post-anesthesia recovery room.
Hypothesis: Adding an intraoperative dose of intravenous acetaminophen to usual and
customary analgesics during ambulatory surgery increases the proportion of patients
remaining opioid-free in the post-anesthesia recovery room.
Secondary Specific Aim: To determine if adding an intraoperative dose of intravenous
acetaminophen to usual and customary analgesics during amublatory surgery impacts the
required doses of additional perioperative analgesics.
Hypothesis: Adding an intraoperative dose of intravenous acetaminophen to usual and
customary analgesics during ambulatory surgery decreases the required doses of additional
analgesics in both the operating room and post-anesthesia recovery room.
