Prevention of Fentanyl Induced Cough by Ketorolac: A Prospective, Randomized, and Double-Blind Study
The administration of ketorolac and lidocaine decreases both the frequency and severity of cough induced by fentanyl, especially in individuals who received ketorolac, as no cases of severe cough were observed. Therefore, ketorolac can be used in cases where lidocaine is contraindicated to prevent coughing due to fentanyl.
