Overview
Brief Summary
This study will be investigating the efficacy and safety administration of multiple doses of intravenous (IV) acetaminophen (IVAPAP) in the 48 hour period following Gynecologic Surgery.
Detailed Description
The research hypothesis is that IV Acetaminophen will provide greater reduction in pain intensity and greater pain relief for moderate and severe pain as compared to placebo in the 48 hours following surgery.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Sum of Pain Intensity at Rest-Baseline to 24 Hours (SPI24rest), 1 Gram IV Acetaminophen vs. Placebo.
Time Frame: Baseline (just prior to the first dose) through 24 hours
The Sum of Pain Intensity (SPI) score incorporates the analgesic effects on pain intensity (PI) from Baseline to 24 hours. SPI was measured by the 100 millimeter (mm) long Visual Analog Scale (VAS) over 24 hours after treatment. Subjects were asked to mark the level of pain they were experiencing at a certain timepoint on the scale The 100mm VAS scale was used with the left terminus (0 mm) of the scale "No Pain" and the right terminus (100 mm) with "Worst Pain Imaginable". The range of measurement is 0-2400 mm for 24 hours.
