Background And Aims: Obese patients undergoing bariatric and metabolic surgeries have a high chance of respiratory depression and could need admission to an intensive care unit or a high-dependency unit. Several studies have compared remifentanil to other opioids or non-opioids in these patients. This review investigated the efficacy and safety of remifentanil in bariatric and metabolic surgeries.

Background Soft tissue surgery comprises short or medium-duration surgical procedures, with anesthesia consisting of analgesia and sedation. Various quantitative and qualitative recovery scales are used to evaluate the quality of postoperative recovery. The primary objective of this study was to compare the effects of dexmedetomidine versus remifentanil on postoperative recovery using the Quality of Recovery-15 (QoR-15) scale to assess recovery quality in soft tissue surgeries.

Ambulatory surgery is increased in numbers, healthcare costs are reduced, and patient safety is high when patient characteristics and type of surgery are properly evaluated. To maintain efficiency and patient safety, anesthesia and surgery must be optimized. The bispectral index (BIS) is a widely used and simplified measure of the depth of anesthesia and may provide a more stable anesthesia and avoid insufficient levels of anesthesia.

Opioids are often used in the ICU, particularly as continuous infusions, and their characteristics lead them to undergo PK alterations. We conducted a systematic review to assess the PK of opioid infusions in the ICU.
