Conditions

Arthroplasty, Replacement, Hip

Keywords

oxycodone, morphine, hip replacement, analgesia, post operative analgesia

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.

Interventions

DRUGStandard Care morphine hydrochloride

Post-operative analgesia including morphine (patient controlled analgesia).

DRUGOxycodone

Post-operative analgesia including oxycodone (patient controlled analgesia).

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Composite score of complications24 hoursThe presence/absence of at least one of the following complications: nausea, vomiting, respiratory depression, pruritus (itch), urinary retention requiring evacuation (spontaneous voiding impossible despite bladder volume\> 400 ml measured by ultrasound), allergy (skin reaction, hallucination (perception without object). Drowsiness (Ramsay score) is not considered an adverse event within the primary endpoint.
