Abstract

Introduction: This study looked at how pharmacology affected surgical anatomy and patient outcomes. Methods: The research included a total of 162 participants who were having elective surgery. Propofol or sevoflurane was randomly allocated to patients for the initiation and maintenance of anesthesia. Acetaminophen, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs), and opioids were used in combination to alleviate pain. Results: When compared to patients receiving sevoflurane, those receiving propofol had substantially reduced rates of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) (p 0.05). Additionally, the propofol group saw quicker healing and shorter hospital stays (p 0.05). Multimodal analgesia was linked to better pain management and reduced opioid use. Conclusion: The use of propofol for anesthesia induction and maintenance, as well as multimodal analgesia, may provide superior outcomes for patients undergoing surgery. These findings highlight the importance of pharmacology in surgical anatomy and patient outcomes and emphasize the need for further research to optimize the use of these interventions in the perioperative period.
