They are according to two groups that received analgesic therapy in the operating room, 58 children received Metamizol and 57 children received Ketorolac. Results: In the group receiving Ketorolac, 56.1% had no pain in the postanesthesic recovery unit according to the scale of Oucher and 43.9% had mild to moderate pain (1-6). The group that received Metamizol, 19% of children reported pain and 74.1% rated their pain from mild to moderate.
