Purpose: The routine perioperative use of opioids has recently been questioned due to opioid-related side effects, which can be potentially harmful in geriatric patients. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of opioid-free anesthesia in geriatric patients undergoing hip surgery.
Patients And Methods: A total of 121 patients, aged 60 years or older, undergoing elective hip surgery were randomized to receive either opioid-free anesthesia with dexmedetomidine and esketamine (OFA group) or balanced anesthesia with opioids (CON group).
Article Synopsis
- Berberine offers cardioprotection against ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury, but its effects are limited due to low bioavailability.
- The study investigates whether borneol can enhance berberine's protective effects and looks into the role of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) in the heart.
- Results indicate that combining borneol with berberine significantly improves heart protection by reducing P-gp levels, suggesting a new strategy for minimizing heart injury during I/R events.
Background: The use of multimodal pharmacological prophylactic regimes has decreased postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in general but it still occurs in over 60% of female patients after bariatric surgery. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of ST36 acupoint injection with anisodamine in prevention of PONV among female patients after bariatric surgery.
Methods: Ninety patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy were randomly allocated to anisodamine or control group at the ratio of 2:1.
