Study Summary

The investigators hypothesize that intermittent bolus doses of morphine and midazolam can provide the same pain control after pediatric cardiothoracic surgery as bolus doses plus infusions while using smaller total doses of both medications. The investigators will randomize patients to receive either morphine/midazolam as needed intermittently or morphine/midazolam drips plus intermittent doses to be received as needed. Pain scores will be recorded and total medications given will be recorded.

Primary Outcome

Total dose of morphine used will be recorded for each patient.

Interventions

  • DRUG Acetaminophen
  • DRUG ketorolac
  • DRUG continuous infusion
  • DRUG as needed dosing
