Measure
Acetaminophen/Oxycodone + Celecoxib
Subjects will take acetaminophen orally in scheduled doses every 4 hours for the first 5 days. Subjects will also take celecoxib orally (dose is 6mg/kg twice a day with a maximum dose of 300mg twice a day). The first dose of celecoxib will be given preoperatively, within 1 hour prior to entering the operating room. The second dose will be given at bedtime on the night of surgery and subsequent doses will be given 12 hours apart. Supplemental standard of care oxycodone may be used to control breakthrough pain. Celecoxib: Dosing will be 6mg/kg twice a day with a maximum dose of 300mg twice a day. All ages will be given the suspension (concentration 100mg/5mL) orally.
Acetaminophen/Oxycodone + Placebo
Subjects will take acetaminophen orally in scheduled doses every 4 hours for the first 5 days. Subjects will also take the placebo orally twice a day. The first dose of placebo will be given preoperatively, within 1 hour prior to entering the operating room. The second dose will be given at bedtime on the night of surgery and subsequent doses will be given 12 hours apart. Supplemental standard of care oxycodone may be used to control breakthrough pain. Placebo: Placebo will have the same appearance, taste and consistency as celecoxib. Placebo will consist of calcium carbonate powder suspended in the same syrup as celecoxib. Dose of elemental calcium is 3 mg/kg/day.
