Opioid free versus opioid sparing strategies for multimodal antinociception during laparoscopic colectomy: a randomised controlled trial
Résumé
It remains unclear whether opioid-free anesthesia (OFA), when compared to opioid-sparing anesthesia (OSA), reduces postoperative opioid consumption while still providing adequate pain control. We thus tested the hypothesis that patients having an OFA strategy during laparoscopic colectomy would require less postoperative opioids when compared to an OSA strategy.
In patients undergoing laparoscopic colectomy with a multimodal antinociception protocol, OFA, when compared to OSA, did not decrease postoperative opioid consumption.
