Haemodynamic and analgesic control in a perioperative opioid-free approach to bariatric surgery - A case report. Indian J Anaesth. 2020;64(2):141-144. doi:10.4103/ija.IJA_620_190019-50490976-2817http://hdl.handle.net/10400.16/2646New approaches to bariatric surgery aim to achieve stress-free anaesthesia with sympathetic stability to protect organs and provide sufficient tissue perfusion, analgesia and rapid emergence. Opioid-free and multimodal approaches to anaesthesia provide intra- and post-operative sedation and analgesia, particularly advantageous in morbidly obese patients, but their feasibility and efficacy are still disputed. We describe the case of a female patient proposed for laparoscopic bariatric surgery, conducted under an opioid-free anaesthesia protocol, the haemodynamic, ventilatory and analgesic control, and intra- and post-operative monitoring and complications.engBariatric surgerymultimodal analgesiaopioid-free anaesthesiajournal article10.4103/ija.IJA_620_19
