| Abstract | Background: Opioid-free anesthesia (OFA) is a relatively new approach, and many studies are still needed to assess its effectiveness and compare it to opioid-based anesthesia (OBA). Objectives: This study investigated the use of OFA in obese patients undergoing upper limb surgery and compares its outcomes with those of OBA. Results: The OFA group had significantly lower extubation time, mean arterial pressure (MAP), and heart rate (HR) compared to the OBA group. Additionally, VAS scores were significantly lower at the 30-minute and 2-hour marks after extubation (P < 0.001 and P < 0.001, respectively) in patients receiving OFA. The OFA group also experienced fewer adverse effects, required fewer rescue doses of tramadol, and had shorter hospital stays. Conclusions: Opioid-free anesthesia may result in better and safer outcomes for obese patients undergoing upper limb surgeries, with fewer postoperative complications and shorter hospital stays. However, further research is needed to fully understand the potential benefits of OFA compared to OBA. | en |
