: Kidney transplantation (KT) is an important treatment modality for renal failure. However, moderate-to-severe pain often occurs in KT recipients. Multimodal analgesia using combined analgesic measures has been recommended to enhance postoperative recovery.

: Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is associated with less postoperative pain than traditional open thoracotomy. However, trocar and chest tube placement may damage the intercostal nerves, causing significant discomfort. An ultrasound-guided serratus anterior plane block (SAPB) is a promising mode of pain management; this reduces the need for opioids and the associated side-effects.

Fibromyalgia represents a chronic pain disorder characterized by musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, and cognitive impairments.

Background: Patients undergoing general anesthesia are more frequently monitored for depth of anesthesia using processed electroencephalography. Opioid-free anesthesia is nowadays an accepted modality for general anesthesia, however it is unclear how to interpret data from processed electroencephalography when using a mixture of non-opioid anesthetic drugs. Our objective was to describe density spectral array patterns and compare processed encephalographic data indices between opioid-free and routine opioid based anesthesia.
