Brief Summary:
This study is a randomized, controlled, double-blind clinical trial to evaluate the effect of local infiltration of ropivacaine and dexamethasone, alone or in association, in the reduction of pain and the need for supplementary analgesia, after tonsillectomy, in the immediate and late postoperative period, in individuals aged 18 to 65 years.
The present clinical trial will include 4 study groups, each with different content of infiltration into the amygdaline locus. One group will have ropivacaine in the infiltration, the other will have dexamethasone and another the association of these two drugs. In order to better understand the effectiveness of these drugs, there will also be a control group, in which saline solution will be infiltrated.
Approximately 104 individuals, aged 18 to 65 years, proposed for tonsillectomy will be included in the study, i.e., 26 subjects in each study group.
Postoperative pain will be characterized by self-assessment through the Visual Analog Scale (VAS, 100mm) at various moments of the study, namely in the preoperative consultation, in the pre-anesthetic consultation, at hospital admission and in the postoperative period until the 15th day after the surgery.
The aim of this study is not to eliminate intra and postoperative analgesia, but rather account for the need for analgesia depending on the different infiltration content peramygdalin. For this, in the postoperative period, a careful pain monitoring, having first-line analgesic and rescue medication for use immediate response in the face of minimal pain assessed by validated pain scales. It is intended, therefore, to record which analgesic drugs and in what doses were necessary.
