dc.description.abstractObjective: Intravenous (IV) paracetamol (acetaminophen) is an analgesic and antipyretic medication that can be used for reduction of postoperative pain. In this study, we compared the efficacies of IV paracetamol and intramuscular (IM) diclofenac on postoperative pain following septoplasty. Material and Method: In this study, 27 of 54 patients who had septoplasty were administered IV 1 gr paracetamol with six hours intervals (q.i.d.) after surgery while the other 27 patients received 75 mg diclofenac IM with 12 hours intervals (b.i.d.). Vital signs, electrocardiogram, and blood chemistry were obtained prior to administration of drugs and 24 hours postoperatively for detection of any possible side effects. Results: Both preparations were equally effective for controlling postoperative pain. There were no side effects in any of the groups. Statistical analysis did not reveal any difference between the groups (P > 0.05). Conclusion: Although there were no statistically significant differences between IV paracetamol and IM diclofenac for reduction of the postoperative pain, more frequent administration of paracetamol and 15 minute of infusion caused problems in early mobilization of patients when compared to diclofenac group. Total cost of the therapy was also in favor of diclofenac. Diclofenac was also cost-effective. © 2010 Düzce Medical Journal.en_US
