This systematic review aimed to outline the outcome of () variants on the effects of anesthetic and analgesic agents used in various procedures. Literature was obtained from reliable, established databases and reference tracking. Efficacy and side/adverse effects of anesthetic and analgesic drugs intraoperatively or within 48 h postsurgery were the key outcome measures for all populations. Animal studies were excluded. Twenty-nine studies were chosen for inclusion. In association with the efficacy and safety of anesthetic and analgesic agents, gene polymorphism in displayed a strong correlation in reduced analgesic effect and protection against adverse reactions. This systematic review summarized the correlation between genetic polymorphism in the gene and anesthetic/analgesic effects.

Ketamine is a racemic compound and medication comprised of ()-ketamine and ()-ketamine enantiomers and its metabolites. It has been used for decades as a dissociative anesthetic, analgesic, and recreational drug. More recently, ketamine, its enantiomers, and its metabolites have been used or are being investigated for the treatment of refractory depression, as well as for comorbid disorders such as anxiety, obsessive-compulsive, and opioid use disorders.

Objectives: The rationale of adoption opioid-sparing anesthesia (OSA) is to achieve perioperative analgesia with a minimal amount of opioids combined with nonopioid adjuvants during and after surgery, namely multimodal anesthesia. The OSA approach was originally developed to overcome the known complications of opioid-based anesthesia (OA), and the present scoping review (ScR) aims at providing clinical evidence of the safety and efficacy of OSA with respect to OA.

Methods: This ScR is mainly focused on studies presenting evidence on the safety and efficacy of OSA versus OA.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the effectiveness of esketamine as an adjunct to propofol sedation compared to sufentanil during minimally invasive rotary resection (MIRR) for breast tumors.
  • Results show that patients receiving esketamine-propofol experienced significantly lower hypoxia rates (17.5%) and fewer airway interventions compared to those on sufentanil-propofol (39%).
  • Overall, esketamine improves safety without affecting awakening time or patient satisfaction, making it a promising option for anesthesia during breast MIRR.
