What this trial studies

This study investigates the effects of opioid-free analgesia and anesthesia on postoperative recovery and nausea in patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. It aims to utilize alternative analgesics such as esketamine and dexmedetomidine to manage pain without the use of opioids. The approach focuses on minimizing the side effects associated with opioids, particularly in the context of postoperative recovery. The study will assess the quality of recovery and incidence of nausea and vomiting in participants receiving this novel pain management strategy.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18-65 with a BMI over 30 who are scheduled for elective laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.

Not a fit: Patients with chronic pain, severe liver or renal dysfunction, or significant neurological disorders may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could lead to improved postoperative recovery and reduced nausea for patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promise in using opioid-free analgesia, suggesting potential success for this approach.
