Brief summary describing the background
and objectives of the trial
|
Multimodal analgesia has shown to improve pain management, lowers healthcare costs and allows earlier discharge. Providing efficient pain management impacts the society by improving quality of care and decreasing mortality after surgery. Multimodal analgesia is advocated for bariatric surgery with the aim of reducing opioid use. Ketamine is a phencyclidine derivative with N-Methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) antagonistic properties. When used in small doses, it is an analgesic, anti-hyperalgesic and prevents opioid induced tolerance. A key advantage of ketamine in patients with morbid obesity is that it synergizes opioid and adds onto analgesia without suppression of respiratory drive or loss of airway tone. Dexmedetomidine is an alpha-2 blocker that has selectivity for alpha-2a receptors that have roles in analgesia and sedation. It also has the ability to provide anesthesia without causing apnea or losing airway tone, especially in a highly susceptible patient population, such as those with morbid obesity with OSA. When used in low doses, it causes minimal hemodynamic or respiratory compromise.
