The effect of opioid free versus opioid based anaesthesia on breast cancer pain score and immune response by Rana Alsayed Hussam El-dein Aboalsoud, Emad Abdel Moneim Arida, Laila Abdel Aziz Sabry, Ahmed Fawzy Elmolla, Hossam El-deen Mohammad Ghoneim

“…ABSTRACTBackground Modified radical mastectomy (MRM) with axillary clearance of lymph nodes was routinely performed under general anaesthesia with intra- and postoperative opioid analgesia. Recently, there has been a move toward opioid-free anesthesia (OFA) to appreciate the goals of hypnosis with amnesia and sympathetic stability without the adverse effects of opioids.The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of OFA versus opioid-based anaesthesia (OBA) in patients with breast cancer, who had undergone unilateral MRM.The primary aims • Pain intensity using the visual analogue scale in the first 24 h post-operatively.• Screening for post mastectomy neuropathic pain.The secondary aims • Effect of opioid and surgical stress on the immune system.• Patient outcome including haemodynamic stability, patient satisfaction and occurrence of post-operative complications.Methods Forty adult female patients scheduled for elective unilateral MRM were randomly divided into two groups (20 patients in each group): OFA and OBA.Results There was statistically significant decrease in pain score at rest and on movement in the OFA group. …”
