The Effect of a Narcotic Free Total Intravenous Anesthesia on the Outcome and Patient Safety During Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF) Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Trial

This study will help the investigators learn more about the best way to give anesthesia for
these kinds of surgery. The investigators will be using 2 different groups of medications
that is commonly used in ACDF surgery, one group has a Narcotic, and the other group does
not. The investigators wish to test whether a narcotic free anesthetic will result in an
overall safer surgery, better patient recovery, and satisfaction. The investigators think
also that eliminating the Narcotic from the Anesthetic regimen will allow patients to recover
faster after surgery , and consume less pain medicines in the postoperative period.
