Opioid-free analgesia with esketamine-dexmedetomidine versus opioid-based analgesia after gynaecological laparoscopic surgery: a double-blind, randomized, controlled trial.
Opioid-free pain relief performed as well as standard opioid care after surgery while supporting better recovery.
This randomized controlled trial evaluates Opioid-free analgesia with esketamine-dexmedetomidine versus opioid-based analgesia after gynaecological laparoscopic surgery: a double-blind, randomized, controlled trial. The PubMed abstract reports that We tested whether opioid-free analgesia combining dexmedetomidine and esketamine was non-inferior to sufentanil-based opioid analgesia for pain control and superior for postoperative recovery quality.
