Opioid-free versus opioid-based anaesthesia and analgesia for patients at low risk for acute postoperative pain undergoing laparoscopic surgery: A randomised controlled trial

When individualising anaesthesia based on predicted risk for APOP, OFA is non-inferior to a traditional GABAA and opioid-based anaesthesia strategy, for patients with a low risk for APOP undergoing laparoscopic surgery. No secondary advantages, i.e. lower PONV, less PPOP, better quality of recovery, was associated with OFA.
