About This Study
This study compares two different anesthesia techniques in patients with obesity undergoing bariatric surgery: one that includes opioids (OBA), and one that avoids them completely (OFA). The main goal is to determine whether avoiding opioids during surgery leads to lower postoperative morphine requirements and fewer side effects. Researchers reviewed medical records of 70 patients who had bariatric surgery between June 2022 and December 2023 at a hospital in Spain. The study evaluates pain levels, sedation, complications, and total morphine use in the first 48 hours after surgery.
