First seen Jan 10, 2026 · Last updated May 11, 2026 · Updated 23 times

Summary

This study compares two types of anesthesia for emergency abdominal surgery: one that uses fewer opioids (painkillers like fentanyl) and one that uses standard amounts. Opioids can cause nausea, constipation, and slow recovery. The goal is to see if the opioid-sparing approach helps patients feel better and recover faster. About 120 adults aged 21-65 will take part.
