PERBEDAAN SKOR VISUAL ANALOGUE SCALE ANTARA KETOROLAK DAN DEKSKETOPROFEN PADA PASIEN PASCA BEDAH

Abstract

Background: Pain is a common complaint and a terrible experience for post operative patient, so that it requires an optimal management, and one of them is by using analgesics from NSAIDs group. One aspect in assessing efficacy is by measuring the degree of pain that the patient felt which can be measured with VAS pain score. This study aims to analyze the difference of the visual analogue scale score between ketorolac and deksketoprofen. Methods: A retrospective observational clinical test using secondary data from a research by participants of PPDS Anesthesiology by adopting the data on VAS score. The secondary data then divided randomly into 2 groups, where each group composed of 18, group I received ketorolac 30 mg iv before surgery and repeated every 8 hours during 48 hours post-surgery, while group II received dexketoprofen 50 mg iv before surgery and repeated every 8 hours during 48 hours post-surgery. VAS scores were measured every 8 hours for 48 hours post-surgery. The data was described in tables and graphs and analyzed using computer program. Result: The lowest median value of VAS score was obtained at the 6th VAS score to each group (1 vs 0,5). The Friedman test and Wilcoxon test showed significant results for each group (p <0.05). Different test on VAS scores between groups also showed significantly different results for all VAS scores (p <0.05). Conclusion: There was a significant difference in VAS scores between group that received ketorolac 30 mg iv and group that received dexketoprofen 50 mg iv.
