A 42yo man suffered a closed tibial fracture when he fell from his motorbike. The next day in

closed locked reamed titanium intramedullary tibial, the anaesthetist asked the surgeon if it
was preferred to use a NSAID (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug) in the recovery room for
patient analgesia. What would/should you do?
