Hemodynamics Stability During Opioid Free Anesthesia for Patients with Obesity

The study evaluated the impact of Opioid-Free Anesthesia (OFA) and Fentanyl Anesthesia (FNT) on the hemodynamics of the circulatory system (HR, esCCO, esCCI, esSVI, BP: SYS, DIA, MEAN) in obese patients with a BMI \> 40 undregoing laparoscopic bariatric surgery. Patients in the OFA group were anesthetized as follows: before induction: ketamine 0.15 mg/kg (corrected body weight), lidocaine 1-1.5 mg/kg (corrected body weight) slow infusion, magnesium sulfate 30-50 mg/kg (corrected body weight), dexamethasone 8 mg, paracetamol 2.0g. Maintenance: continuous infusion of ketamine 0.125-0.25 mg/kg/h (corrected body weight), lidocaine 1.5-3 mg/kg/h (corrected body weight), magnesium sulfate 10 mg/kg/min (corrected body weight), and rocuronium bromide 1.25 µg/kg/min (corrected body weight) were used. Patients in the FNT group were anesthetized as follows: before induction: fentanyl 1.5-3 µg/kg (corrected body weight) iv, preoxygenation with 100% oxygen for 3 minutes, propofol 2.5 mg/kg (actual body weight) and following confirmation of mask ventilation, rocuronium bromide 0.6 mg/kg (actual body weight) bolus. After achieving full neuromuscular blockade, the patient was intubated and connected to the anesthesia machine and ventilated with 1-1.5 MAC desflurane.
