The sonographic Murphy sign: does analgesia matter?
Clinicians should consider delaying OA until after the RUQUS or consider delaying the study at least 30 minutes after the administration of OA due to increased risk of false-negative results. Additionally, our results suggest that administration of NOA is a viable alternative analgesic option for many patients without sacrificing diagnostic accuracy.
