title: [Clinical use of ketorolac (ketrodole) for analgesia in the early postoperative period].
abstract: Ketrodole was administered to 30 patients operated on the abdominal organs, heart and major vessels, lungs and bronchi. The drug was used in a single dose of 30 mg, the maximal daily dose being 90 mg for 16 young patients and 60 mg for 14 elderly patients. Adequate analgesia depending on the time of ketrodole use was attained in 74 to 95% of patients. In 60% of patients with medium intensive pain ketrodole may replace potent opioid analgesics or reduce their daily dose two- or threefold. Ketrodole in the doses used is a relatively safe analgesic.
