Oliceridine effectively attenuates fentanyl-induced cough during general anesthesia induction

1

Oliceridine significantly reduces the incidence of fentanyl-induced cough (FIC) during anesthesia induction compared to normal saline.
2

In the study, 0% of patients receiving oliceridine experienced FIC, while 58.33% in the saline group did (p < 0.001).
3

Cough severity in the saline group varied, with 17.86% classified as mild, 20.24% as moderate, and 20.24% as severe.
4

Vital signs remained stable with no significant changes between groups, indicating oliceridine's safety profile.
5

Oliceridine's use as a prophylactic agent during anesthesia induction offers a safe approach without increasing adverse risks.
