Purpose
Perioperative continuous infusion of lornoxicam would be an effective and safe regimen to reduce the patient controlled morphine consumption after orthopaedic surgery.
After ethical approval, 96 patients scheduled for elective orthopaedic fracture surgery under general anaesthesia were randomly allocated to receive placebo, 12-hourly iv lornoxicam 16 mg or lornoxicam 16 mg followed with continuous infusion of 1.3 mg/hr., for 48 hours after surgery (n=32 per group). Anaesthesia was induced with propofol, sufentanil and rocuronium, and was maintained with 0.5-1 minimum alveolar concentration sevoflurane, sufentanil and rocuronium. Postoperative patient controlled morphine analgesia was used. Changes in heart rate, mean blood pressure and sevoflurane minimum alveolar concentration, visual analogue pain scores, and cumulative patient controlled morphine consumptions and blood loss for 48 hours, platelet functions, bone non-union and the presence of adverse effects were recorded.

Primary Outcome Measures:
- postoperative patient controlled morphine consumption [ Time Frame: 24 hours and 48 hours after surgery ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The cumulative morphine consumption during the first 24 and 48 postoperative hours were recorded.
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- Quality of analgesia [ Time Frame: every two hours for 24 hours after surgery ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]the use of visual analogue scale to assess the severity of postoperative pain (0 mm for no pain and100 mm for worst imaginable pain)
- platelet functions [ Time Frame: daily after surgery for three days ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
- Bone non-union [ Time Frame: for 3 months after surgery ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
- postoperative sedation [ Time Frame: every two hours for 24 hours after surgery ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]four-point verbal rating scores (VRS): awake, drowsy, rousable or deep sleep),
- Nausea and vomiting [ Time Frame: every two hours for 24 hours after surgery ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]nausea and vomiting (0: no nausea; 1: nausea no vomiting; 2: nausea and vomiting),
- Perioperative blood loss [ Time Frame: Cumulative intraoperative and 24 hours after surgery ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
Other Outcome Measures:
- Lornoxicam adverse effects [ Time Frame: 48 hours after surgery ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]the presence of nausea, vomiting, gastritis, reflux esophagitis, headache, bleeding, bronchospasm, sweating, allergy, thrombocytopenia, bleeding, ecchymosis, or increases in liver transaminases.

|
Drug: Placebo
The placebo group received 12 hourly 20-mL i.v. boluses of 0.9% saline starting 20 min before induction of anaesthesia, followed by a constant infusion at 10 mL/h, for 48 hrs after surgery.

Active Comparator: Scheduled
They received a 12 hourly boluses of lornoxicam followed by a constant infusion of 0.9% saline, for 48 hrs after surgery
|
Drug: Scheduled
The "scheduled" group received an 12 hourly 20-mL i.v. boluses of lornoxicam 0.8 mg/mL starting 20 min before induction of anaesthesia followed by a constant infusion at 10 mL/h of 0.9% saline, for 48 hrs after surgery (supplied by Xefo, JPI, Saudi Arabia), starting 20 min before induction of anaesthesia.

Active Comparator: Continuous infusion
They received boluses of lornoxicam 0.8 mg/mL before induction of anaesthesia followed by a 12 hourly boluses of 0.9% saline and a constant infusion at 10 mL/h of lornoxicam 0.13 mg/mL, for 48 hrs. after surgery.
