Brief summary

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) are part the multimodal strategy in pain management after surgery. However, major concerns are raised in cardiac surgery given the potential side effects of NSAID with more bleeding and acute kidney injury. The investigators hypothesized that NSAID are safe in the early postoperative course after cardiac surgery with respect to contraindication.

Interventions

DRUGpain management

o Pain management in both arms Intraoperative time: intravenous ketamine 0.5 mg kg-1, intravenous dexamethasone 8 mg Postoperative time: paracetamol 1 g every 6 hours a day, nefopam 20 every 8 hours a day, patient control analgesia with morphine or oxycontin

DRUGketoprofen

Ketoprofen 100 mg twice a day, during 48 after surgery, intravenous administration

DRUGPLacebo

Placebo twice a day, during 48 h after surgery, intravenous administration

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
reduction in pain intensity during chest physiotherapy at 24 hours from the end of surgeryat 24 hoursPain intensity will be assessed using the NRS at 24 hours from the end of surgery during chest physiotherapy
NSAIDs reduce postoperative at rest at 24 hours from the end of surgeryat 24 hoursPain intensity will be assessed at rest at 24 hours from the end surgery using the numerous rating scale (NRS) graded from 1 (no pain) to 10 (high pain intensity)

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change in pain trajectory during the first 7 days after cardiac surgery7 daysPain trajectory will be assessed every day using NRS and trajectory will be defined as following
Change in cumulative opioid within 48 hours after surgery48 hoursTotal dose of oxynorm or morphine will be recorded from the end of surgery to 48 h after and expressed in milligram
Change in pulmonary postoperative complications within 7 days after surgery7 daysPostoperative pulmonary complications will be defined by the occurrence of at least one item among following: atelectasis, pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome, acute respiratory failure, bronchospasm
