Summary

At Ann \& Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago (Lurie Children's), the current practice is to prescribe children with oral Tylenol as needed every 4-6 hours post strabismus surgery. Prescribing Tylenol "as needed" leaves more room for error for parents to be under-dosing their children, which can lead to avoidable pain. This study aims to figure out if children ages 4-12 years old will feel significantly less pain and discomfort when given regimented Tylenol every 6 hours for 48 hours after strabismus surgery (eye muscle surgery) compared to controls whose parents are instructed to give Tylenol every 4-6 hours as needed for 48 hours after surgery. To date, there have been no studies comparing patient outcomes between those taking Tylenol regimen and those receiving Tylenol as needed after pediatric surgery.
