New pain drug tested for safer breathing after surgery

NCT ID NCT04979247

Summary

This study looked at whether a newer pain medication called oliceridine causes fewer breathing problems than standard opioids after major surgery. Researchers monitored 111 adults having major operations to see if their breathing was affected while using the medication. Patients wore special monitors to track their breathing patterns without the medical team seeing the data in real time.
