Ear, Nose, and Throat Surgery: Postoperative Complications After Selected Head and Neck Operations

Nalbuphine's Hemodynamic Impact in Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) Surgeries: A Comprehensive Review

Nalbuphine, a semi-synthetic opioid, has gained attention for its analgesic properties, but its specific impact on hemodynamics in ear, nose, and throat (ENT) surgeries remains a subject of exploration. This comprehensive review aims to systematically analyze existing literature to understand the nuanced hemodynamic effects of nalbuphine during ENT procedures. Nalbuphine demonstrates promise as an analgesic agent in ENT surgeries with generally stable hemodynamic profiles. However, the variability in study designs and outcomes necessitates a cautious interpretation. The review underscores the need for standardized protocols and further research to elucidate patient-specific considerations, ensuring optimal utilization of nalbuphine in enhancing overall perioperative care for ENT patients.
