Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Placebo	Placebo	1 L of normal saline infused at 40-120 mL/hr for 18.5-23 hours beginning 0.5 hours after the end of surgery.
Ketorolac	Ketorolac	90 mg ketorolac in 1 L of normal saline infused at 40-120 mL/hr for 18.5-23 hours beginning 0.5 hours after the end of surgery.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Pain 'Right Now'	24 hours after the end of surgery	Visual analog scale score for pain on a scale from 0 = None to 10 = Worst.
Morphine Equivalents of Concomitant Pain Medication	24 hours after the end of surgery	The morphine equivalent is a unit of measure to compare the efficacy of different types of opioids (narcotics). The patients were allowed to take additional pain medication in addition to either study drug or placebo. This outcome measure reports the amount of morphine (in mg) equivalent to the amount of concomitant pain medication used by the patient.
