Abstract

Background

This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the impact of opioid-free anesthesia (OFA) on the postoperative subjective quality of recovery (QoR).

Methods

Our comprehensive literature search, spanning PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar, targeted clinical trials that evaluated the effects of OFA versus opioid-based anesthesia (OBA) on postoperative QoR. The data were analyzed using Review Manager, STATA, and the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) profiler.

Main results

This meta-analysis included 13 randomized controlled trials (RCTs). OFA significantly improved the QoR-15 score (SMD 2.16; 95 % CI 0.13–4.20; I² = 98 %; 293 patients in 3 trials) and QoR-40 score (SMD 0.47; 95 % CI 0.18–0.77; I² = 82 %; 1464 patients in 236 trials). Furthermore, the incidence of nausea, vomiting, and hypotension was reduced, with no difference in the risk of bradycardia or time for extubation of the trachea.

Conclusion

This meta-analysis shows OFA improves early postoperative quality of recovery and reduces the occurrence of nausea, vomiting, and hypotension without increasing the risk of bradycardia or prolonging the time for extubation of the trachea.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Clinical Anesthesia (JCA) addresses all aspects of anesthesia practice, including anesthetic administration, pharmacokinetics, preoperative and postoperative considerations, coexisting disease and other complicating factors, cost issues, and similar concerns anesthesiologists contend with daily. Exceptionally high standards of presentation and accuracy are maintained. The core of the journal is original contributions on subjects relevant to clinical practice, and rigorously peer-reviewed. Highly respected international experts have joined together to form the Editorial Board, sharing their years of experience and clinical expertise. Specialized section editors cover the various subspecialties within the field. To keep your practical clinical skills current, the journal bridges the gap between the laboratory and the clinical practice of anesthesiology and critical care to clarify how new insights can improve daily practice.
