About this trial
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of an opioid-free anesthesia protocol on postoperative recovery quality in patients aged 65 years and older undergoing major surgery. Recovery quality was assessed using the Quality of Recovery-15 (QoR-15) questionnaire. Findings are expected to contribute to optimizing anesthesia practices in the elderly population by improving recovery quality and reducing opioid-related side effects.
