Opioid-free anesthesia: a practical guide for teaching and implementation
Minerva Anestesiol. 2024 Mar 14. doi: 10.23736/S0375-9393.23.17824-2. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTOpioid-free anesthesia (OFA) represents an innovative approach that prioritizes patient safety, reduces the risks associated with opioid use, and seeks to enhance recovery. Few descriptions regarding the practical and implementation aspects exist. This review serves as a practical guide on OFA teaching and application. We briefly discuss the historical use of opioids in anesthesia, side effects and their consequences. We discuss pedagogical avenues and challenges, as well as implementation of OFA in less experienced settings...

The effect of an ultrasound-guided sacral erector spinae plane block on the postoperative pain of lumbar discectomy: a randomized controlled trial
CONCLUSIONS: In lumbar discectomy surgery, ultrasound-guided SESPB provided adequate analgesia by reducing opioid consumption and pain scores without complications.PMID:38482636 | DOI:10.23736/S0375-9393.23.17830-8 (Source: Minerva Anestesiologica)

Neuropsychological follow-up of isoflurane sedated intensive care patients: a substudy of a randomized trial
CONCLUSIONS: Isoflurane sedation leads to more delirium free days during the ICU treatment and more factual memories of the ICU stay one year after the ICU stay. However long-term outcome of ventilated ICU patients is poor, and there were no differences between isoflurane and propofol sedation.PMID:38482637 | DOI:10.23736/S0375-9393.24.17834-0 (Source: Minerva Anestesiologica)
