Oxycodone Versus Intravenous Morphine for Postoperative Analgesia After Hip Surgery

Phase 4
Completed
Conditions
Arthroplasty, Replacement, Hip
Interventions
Drug: Standard Care morphine hydrochloride
Registration Number
NCT01536301
Lead Sponsor
Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nīmes
Brief Summary

The main objective is to demonstrate that postoperative analgesia by IV oxycodone (compared to morphine IV) reduces opioid-related adverse events (nausea, vomiting, pruritus, respiratory depression, urinary retention, allergies, hallucination) by 50% in adult patients operated on for prosthetic hip surgery.
