HSK16149 for Perioperative Analgesia in Orthopedic Surgery

This study included patients who have orthopedic surgery under general anesthetic, with expected operation time ≤4h.

Subjects were given 40mg or 60mg of HSK16149 or placebo orally the night before surgery, 2h before surgery, 4h and 16h after surgery, for a total of 4 times during the whole treatment period.

Subjects will receive intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) morphine for pain in the immediate postoperative period. If PCA is insufficient, rescue analgesia of morphine may be given I.V. as determined by the investigator.

After the treatment period, the subjects will be followed up.
