The children who participated in the trial were given the novel chewable tramadol tablet or oral tramadol liquid before anaesthetic was administered. Led by PCH Consultant Paediatric Anaesthetist and Chair of Paediatric Anaesthesia at UWA Professor Britta von Ungern-Sternberg and UWA Professor of Pharmaceutics Lee Yong Lim, the trial successfully pr...
