Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Group OBA Patients received OBA with fentanyl.   Patient will be premedicated with Midazolam – 0.03 mg/kg IV, Fentanyl – 2 mcg/kg IV. Induction will be done using Propofol 2 mg/kg IV followed by muscle relaxant vecuronium 0.1mg/kg IV. The patient will be intubated with an appropriate size endotracheal tube. If the surgery lasts more than 2 hrs, repeat dose of fentanyl 1mcg/kg IV will be given 
Intervention  Group OFA Patients received OFA with lignocaine, diclofenac and MgSO4.  • Patient will be premedicated with Midazolam – 0.03 mg/kg IV and inj Lignocaine 1 mg/kg before intubation. Inj MgSO4 1gm in 100 ml over 30 mins will be started. Inj Diclofenac 75 mg over 20 mins will be given. • Induction will be done using Propofol 2 mg/kg IV followed by muscle relaxant vecuronium 0.1mg/kg IV. The patient will be intubated with an appropriate size endotracheal tube. • Repeat lignocaine 1mg/kg at insufflation/ incision. • SOS Dexmedetomidine 1 mcg/kg bolus f/b 0.5 mcg/kg/hr for the duration of the procedure if required in case of hypertensive response, to maintain the haemodynamics within 20% of the baseline.

Response - NO
Brief Summary   Opioid free anaesthesia is a technique where the intraoperative use of systematic , neuraxial or intracavitary opioid is completely eliminated . restricting opioid use in anaesthesia has shown variable effectiveness in different surgeries and patient population . whereas on one hand , the opioid consumption is reduced intraoperatively, effective nociception and reduction in postoperative opioid consumption is still under investigation with OFA. 
The commonly used armamentarium of non opioid analgesia includes local anaesthetics , clonidine , dexmedetomidine, ketamine , gabapentin , magnesium sulphate and dexamethasone 
The spectrum of opioid free anaesthesia can be of prime utility in patient at high risk of opioid related respiratory complication such as patient with obstructive sleep apnoea , patient posted for bariatric surgeries and patient with pulmonary limitation including obstructive airway diseases 
Opioid free anaesthesia also offer particular advantages in opioid tolerant patient such as patient with chronic pain , cancer related pain and patient suffering from opioid addiction .
