Brief Answer:
I would not recommend Toradol.

Detailed Answer:
Hello! Thank you for asking on HCM! Regarding your concern I would say that is not preferable to use Toradol immediately after CABG. I would recommend other options available to the hospital. May be after chest tube withdrawal the pain will not be so refractory from other pain killer drugs. Just talk to his attending doctor, to decide the right choice for him. Greetings! Dr. Iliri
