Transitioning to Opioid-free Anesthesia for Pediatric Supracondylar Fracture Repairs: A Patient Safety Report
The shift to OFA for intraoperative management of patients' supracondylar fracture repair resulted in similar postoperative analgesic outcomes when compared with an opioid-based approach, with a reduced PONV rate and minimal increase in LOS. Transitioning to OFA provided a safe and effective protocol for supracondylar repairs.
