About this study

Official title: Quality of Recovery of Opioid Free Anaesthesia Versus Opioids Anaesthesia Within Enhanced Recovery Protocol Following Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy in Saudi Arabia, Randomized Controlled Trial

Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is widely employed nowadays. Multimodal analgesia approach is implemented within the enhanced recovery protocol in our facility to improve participants' recovery. Due to side effects of narcotics, the may adversely affect the quality of recovery, the investigators intended to test the efficacy of opioids free anaesthesia on the quality of recovery and postoperative narcotic use.

Being tested
Fentanyl, Ketamine, Dexmedetomidine Injection [Precedex], Oblique subcostal transversus abdominis plane block, Lidocaine
Medical subject headings
Agnosia

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Quality of recovery 40 questionnaire (QoR-40)

    postoperative quality of recovery

    Measured: At 6 hours

  2. Quality of recovery 40 questionnaire (QoR-40)

    postoperative quality of recovery

    Measured: At 24th h (period of time between 6 and 24 hours) as repeated measurement

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Pethidine consumption

    Measured: 24 hours

  2. Numerical rating scale (NRS)

    visual analogue scale postoperatively

    Measured: 24 hours
