Comparison of Intensive and Conservative NOL®-Guided Analgesia Strategies During Opioid-free Anesthesia (OFANOL)
Comparison of Intensive and Conservative NOL®-Guided Analgesia Strategies During Opioid-free Anesthesia for Bariatric Surgery: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial
Participants will be randomized to one of two predefined NOL®-guided analgesia strategies during bariatric surgery performed under OFA. In both groups the NOL® index will be continuously monitored intraoperatively and dexmedetomidine will be administered according to the assigned study algorithm based on the NOL® index using lean body weight (LBW) for dosing.

Gedetailleerde beschrijving
The study aims to evaluate whether different intraoperative target ranges of the NOL® index during bariatric surgery performed under OFA are associated with differences in postoperative analgesic consumption and postoperative pain control without significant differences in intraoperative hemodynamics. Based on the physiological mechanisms outlined above, we hypothesize that during OFA with alpha-2 agonists such as dexmedetomidine, intensified NOL® target ranges (potentially 0-10) may be appropriate compared to the established range of 10-25 for opioid based TIVA. If this hypothesis is confirmed, clinical implications would include the need to establish OFA-specific NOL® target ranges to avoid under-treatment of nociception when applying TIVA-derived thresholds to OFA patients. Conversely, using inappropriately high NOL® targets derived from opioid-based anesthesia might lead to inadequate pain control and to excessive administration of analgesics postoperatively.
