- Male and female children, from birth to aged 6 years, inclusive, with minimum weight of 2.5 kg
- Have or are anticipated to have acute moderate to severe pain; requiring treatment with an intravenous (IV) opioid analgesic medication for at least 24 hours postoperatively or; due to prolonged endotracheal intubation requiring IV opioid analgesic treatment for at least 24 hours poststabilization
- Must have stable vital signs
- Must have stable respiratory status
- Must be inpatient for the treatment period of the study
