Abstract
Abstract: The main goal of this study was to compare how effective ketamine is compared to anesthetics, in surgery particularly in terms of managing pain reducing opioid use and improving patient outcomes. The researcher conducted a review of existing literature. The method analyzed various studies, including randomized controlled trials and literature reviews to assess the benefits of using ketamine alongside local anesthesia and as part of opioid free anesthesia (OFA) methods in facial surgery. Based on the evidence it seems that incorporating ketamine into anesthesia or OFA approaches may offer better pain relief, decrease opioid consumption and lower the risk of opioid related side effects when compared to traditional anesthetics in facial surgery. The study suggests that using ketamine and OFA could enhance the management of anesthesia and enhance outcomes for patients undergoing surgery. However more research is necessary to establish protocols based on evidence to address any limitations identified and investigate long term effects. This analysis contributes insights to the discussions about different anesthetic strategies, in facial surgery and underscores the potential benefits of utilizing ketamine and OFA to improve patient well-being and safety.
