Abstract
Purpose

Septorhinoplasty is a surgical procedure widely employed by otolaryngologists and plastic surgeons. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a single pre-emptive dose of iv ibuprofen on postoperative pain and opioid consumption in patients undergoing septorhinoplasty.

Material and methods

50 patients scheduled for septorhinoplasty were included in this prospective, randomized, double-blinded study. Control group (n = 25) was administered 100 mL iv saline solution 30 min preoperatively, while Ibuprofen group (n = 26) received 800 mg ibuprofen iv. in 100 Ml saline solution. Intravenous fentanyl was administered with a Patient Controlled Analgesia device after surgery for postoperative pain management. Postoperative pain was evaluated using a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) with 0 representing no pain and 10 the worst pain possible.

Results

VAS scores at 10, 20, and 30 min and at 1, 2, 4, 8, 12 and 24 h were lower in the ibuprofen group than in the control group (p < 0.05). Total fentanyl consumption was lower in the ibuprofen group compared to the placebo group (148.8 ± 86.4 mcq vs 338.00 ± 81.00 mcq), respectively.

Conclusion

We suggest that the pre-emptive use of iv ibuprofen at a dosage of 800 mg 30 min before septorhinoplasty will be beneficial in reducing opioid consumption and pain scores.
