Summary

Determine the optimal dose of IV N-acetylcysteine (NAC) to produce opioid reduction following spine surgery and estimate the difference in opioid consumption between placebo and the selected optimal dose.

Conditions

  • Surgery

Interventions

DRUG

Dose Response Curve Placebo

5 participants will be randomized to the placebo group to estimate the dose response curve and to identify the optimal dose.

DRUG

Dose Response Curve N-acetylcysteine 50 mg/kg

5 participants will be randomized to the N-acetylcysteine 50 mg/kg group to estimate the dose response curve and to identify the optimal dose.

DRUG

Dose Response Curve N-acetylcysteine 100 mg/kg

5 participants will be randomized to the N-acetylcysteine 100 mg/kg group to estimate the dose response curve and to identify the optimal dose.

DRUG

Dose Response Curve N-acetylcysteine 150 mg/kg

5 participants will be randomized to the N-acetylcysteine 150 mg/kg group to estimate the dose response curve and to identify the optimal dose.

DRUG

Opioid Reduction with Optimal N-acetylcysteine Dose

Once the optimal N-acetylcysteinedose is identified, 15 participants will be randomized to the optimal dose (50,100, or 150 mg/kg) to estimate the difference in opioid consumption between patients administered optimal N-acetylcysteine dose or placebo.

DRUG

Placebo

15 Participants will be randomized to placebo to estimate the difference in opioid consumption between patients administered optimal N-acetylcysteine dose or placebo.
