Summary

This study looks at two ways of giving the pain medicine ketorolac to children after heart surgery: as a steady drip or as shots every few hours. The goal is to see if the steady drip reduces the need for stronger opioid pain medicines. About 166 children aged 3 months to 5 years will take part.
