Summary

This study tested whether avoiding opioids during anesthesia could still control pain during abdominal surgery. 42 adults were randomly assigned to receive either opioid-free anesthesia (using ketamine, lidocaine, and dexmedetomidine) or standard opioid-based anesthesia (using fentanyl). Both methods worked equally well for pain control, but the opioid-free group had significantly less nausea and vomiting after surgery. This suggests opioid-free anesthesia is a safe and effective alternative that reduces common side effects.
