Evaluating the Efficacy of Intravenous Acetaminophen (IV Tylenol) in Reducing Pain and Agitation in Pediatric Patients Undergoing Elective Tonsillectomy and/or Adenoidectomy

Summary

MetroHealth's main campus administers IV Tylenol as part of its pain management protocol for elective tonsillectomy/adenoidectomy, whereas Parma campus does not. Comparing these practices provides an opportunity to evaluate the benefits of IV Tylenol for pain, agitation, and associated secondary outcomes in this population. The pain/agitation would be assessed with a validated tool PAED and FLACC
