Effect of opioid sparing anesthesia with esketamine on PONV in laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy randomized trial

Puntos clave

• To evaluate the impact of opioid sparing anesthesia using esketamine on postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) during laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.
• Conducted a randomized trial comparing two groups: one using esketamine and opioid sparing anesthesia, and one with standard anesthesia protocols.
• Analyzed median consumption of sufentanil between groups (OSA and control).
• Observed and recorded the incidence of PONV post-surgery.
• Corrected median total consumption of sufentanil for the OSA group is 78 (IQR: 65-90) and 168 for the control group.
• No changes affect data analysis or article conclusions despite table correction.
