Summary
This study tested whether nalmefene, a drug that blocks opioids, can improve recovery after general anesthesia. Researchers gave it to 542 adults having elective surgery to see if it shortens time in the recovery room and reduces side effects like slow breathing or grogginess. The goal is to help patients wake up more quickly and safely after surgery.
