Opioid-free anaesthesia is currently becoming more popular in human medicine, as it provides multimodal analgesia, affecting multiple nociceptive pathways without the use of opioids, in order to minimise opioid-related side effects. This article presents the cases of five dogs undergoing surgical correction of abnormalities associated with brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome, all of whom received opioid-free anaesthesia for surgery. All dogs received a bilateral maxillary nerve block with bupivacaine 0.5% and a combination of non-opioid analgesic drugs. Buprenorphine was allowed during the postoperative period, based on pain assessment. Three out of five dogs received buprenorphine 6–7 hours after the nerve block was performed. Opioid-free anaesthesia provided adequate conditions for surgery and no adverse effects were reported. Prospective controlled studies comparing opioid-free anaesthesia with opioid-based techniques are required to elucidate whether or not opioid-free anaesthesia confers objective advantages.

Opioid and non-opioid analgesics in the ICU 206Sedation management in ICU 208Muscle relaxants 210Anticonvulsant drugs 212Cerebroprotective agents 214Mannitol and hypertonic saline 216Opioid analgesic drugs remain the mainstay of pain relief in the Critical Care Unit. Abnormal GI function in the critically sick consequently makes enteral administration undesirable. IV administration remains the mainstay. Pharmacokinetic considerations consequent upon organ dysfunction leading to altered absorption, distribution and metabolism usually play the most important role in the choice of agent....
