Combined opioid free and loco-regional anaesthesia enhances the quality of recovery in sleeve gastrectomy done under ERAS protocol: a randomized controlled trial

Mohamed Ibrahim et al.

Summary: In patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, opioid-free anaesthesia (OFA) was found to be more effective than multimodal analgesia (MMA) in improving postoperative recovery, reducing pain and opioid consumption, and shortening the time to tolerate oral fluid and readiness for discharge.

Erector Spinae Block with Opioid Free Anesthesia in Cirrhotic Patients Undergoing Hepatic Resection: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Minatallah A. Elshafie et al.

Summary: Bilateral erector spinae plane block with opioid free anesthesia is an effective approach for intra- and postoperative analgesia in cirrhotic patients undergoing liver resection. It provides somatic and visceral analgesia, reduces postoperative nausea and vomiting, delays the first request for analgesia, and decreases fentanyl consumption.

Impact of Opioid-Free Anesthesia on Analgesia and Recovery Following Bariatric Surgery: a Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Studies

Kuo-Chuan Hung et al.

Summary: This meta-analysis examines the impact of opioid-free anesthesia on pain scores and opioid consumption in patients undergoing bariatric surgery. The findings suggest that opioid-free anesthesia can lower pain scores immediately after surgery, but it does not have a significant impact on opioid consumption at postoperative 24 hours.

Effect of Dexmedetomidine Compared to Remifentanil During Bariatric Surgery on Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting: a Retrospective Study

Sun Woo Nam et al.

Summary: This retrospective study found that opioid-restricted total intravenous anesthesia using dexmedetomidine as a substitute for remifentanil can reduce postoperative nausea, pain score, and the need for rescue antiemetic and analgesic agents in the immediate postoperative period after bariatric surgery.

Opioid-free anesthesia compared to opioid anesthesia for laparoscopic radical colectomy with pain threshold index monitoring: a randomized controlled study

Guangquan An et al.

Summary: This study suggests that opioid-free anesthesia can achieve an effective analgesia-antinociception balance in laparoscopic radical colectomy. The use of non-opioid anesthesia reduces the need for additional analgesics after surgery. Although blood glucose levels increase with opioid-free anesthesia, the incidence of opioid-related adverse reactions is not significantly different compared to opioid-based anesthesia.

Comparing opioid free general anesthesia to traditional balanced general anesthesia regarding achievement of enhanced recovery in laparoscopic bariatric surgeries

Abdallah M. Soudi et al.

Summary: The concept of opioid free anesthesia (OFA) was introduced as a safer alternative to traditional opioid-based anesthesia (TBA). The study found that OFA showed better post-operative pain score and reduced opioid consumption compared to TBA, but had a relative increase in time to extubation and time to reach an Aldrete score of 9.

Impact of opioid-free anesthesia on complications after deep inferior epigastric perforator flap surgery: A retrospective cohort study

Harold Mulier et al.

Summary: This study compared the outcomes of deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap reconstruction performed under opioid-free anesthesia (OFA) with goal-directed fluid therapy and opioid anesthesia with liberal fluid therapy (OA). The results showed that OFA was associated with fewer complications, less postoperative opioid consumption, shorter length of hospital stay, and reduced postoperative nausea and vomiting.

Balanced Opioid-free Anesthesia with Dexmedetomidine versus Balanced Anesthesia with Remifentanil for Major or Intermediate Noncardiac Surgery: The Postoperative and Opioid-free Anesthesia (POFA) Randomized Clinical Trial

Helene Beloeil et al.

Summary: The study found that using dexmedetomidine for opioid-free balanced anesthesia does not reduce postoperative opioid-related adverse events, but instead leads to more serious adverse events, especially hypoxemia and vagal reflex.

Perioperative intravenous S-ketamine for acute postoperative pain in adults: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Xuemei Wang et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the effectiveness and safety of S-ketamine for pain relief and analgesic consumption in surgical patients. S-ketamine as an adjunct to general anesthesia was found to be effective in assisting analgesia, reducing pain intensity, and decreasing opioid requirements in the short term post-surgery, but may lead to an increase in psychotomimetic adverse events.

Opioid-Free Anesthesia Benefit-Risk Balance: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

Arthur Salome et al.

Summary: Studies have found that OFA shows advantages in reducing postoperative nausea and vomiting, but does not have significant clinical benefits in terms of postoperative pain and opioid use. More data on the safe use of OFAs should be collected, and caution should be taken in the development of OFA.

Feasibility and postoperative opioid sparing effect of an opioid-free anaesthesia in adult cardiac surgery: a retrospective study

Clement Aguerreche et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the feasibility and outcomes of dexmedetomidine-based opioid-free anesthesia in adult cardiac surgery patients, finding that the opioid consumption in the first 48 postoperative hours was lower in the OFA group. Postoperative outcomes were also better in the OFA group, with lower incidence of atrial fibrillation and non-invasive ventilation use. Further randomized studies are needed to confirm these results.
