Clinical Trial Summary

To explore the efficacy of a single low dose of esketamine during surgical abortion in patients with sleep disturbance

Description:

Sleep disturbance occur in the form of sleep deprivation, circadian rhythm disturbance, and structural abnormalities. Women who requires surgical abortion due to fetal anomaly or unwanted pregnancy often experience sleep disturbance. Severe sleep disturbance is a strong indicator for postoperative sleep disorders, which can lead to postoperative delirium and cognitive dysfunction, aggravate postoperative pain, and delay postoperative recovery.

Esketamine is an N-methyl-D-aspartate(NMDA) receptor antagonist with analgesic and sedative effects, and is widely used in clinical treatment of refractory depression. For patients undergoing surgical abortion, in addition to sedation and analgesia, whether the intraoperative use of esketamine has positive effects on sleep disturbance is worth exploring.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	The incidence of sleep disturbance on the first night after surgery	Patients completed the sleep quality scale (AIS, Athens Insomnia Scale) on the first night after surgery. The AIS has a total of 8 items,with scores ranging from 0 to 24 points, and a total score of 6 points or higher indicates a diagnosis of insomnia.We asked the patients to fill out this questionnaire after the first postoperative night to evaluate the changes in sleep quality. We recorded AIS scores as statistical indicators.	the first night after surgery
Secondary	The incidence of sleep disturbance on the second and third postoperative nights	Patients completed the sleep quality scale(AIS, Athens Insomnia Scale) on the second and third day after surgery. The AIS has a total of 8 items,with scores ranging from 0 to 24 points, and a total score of 6 points or higher indicates a diagnosis of insomnia.We asked the patients to fill out this questionnaire after the second and third postoperative nights to evaluate the changes in sleep quality. We recorded AIS scores as statistical indicators.	the second and third nights after surgery
Secondary	The incidence of sleep disturbance on the seventh postoperative nights	Patients completed the sleep quality scale(AIS, Athens Insomnia Scale) on the seventh day after surgery. The AIS has a total of 8 items,with scores ranging from 0 to 24 points, and a total score of 6 points or higher indicates a diagnosis of insomnia.We asked the patients to fill out this questionnaire after the seventh postoperative nights to evaluate the changes in sleep quality. We recorded AIS scores as statistical indicators.	the seventh night after surgery
Secondary	Postoperative anxiety	Patients completed the anxiety rating scales (HADS-A,Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale-Anxiety subscale) on the day before surgery. HADS-A consists of 7 items, each question in the questionnaire was scored on a scale of 0-3, and a total score of 8 points or higher is diagnosed as anxiety. And we asked the patients to fill out this questionnaire on the 1, 2, 3 and 7 days after surgery again to evaluate the changes in anxiety. We recorded HADS-A scores as statistical indicators.	1 day before surgery, 1, 2, 3 and 7 days after surgery
Secondary	Postoperative depression	Patients completed the depression rating scales (HADS-D,Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale-Depression subscale) on the day before surgery. HADS-D consists of 7 items, each question in the questionnaire was scored on a scale of 0-3, and a total score of 8 points or higher is diagnosed as depression. And we asked the patients to fill out this questionnaire on the 1, 2, 3 and 7 days after surgery again to evaluate the changes in depression. We recorded HADS-D scores as statistical indicators.	1 day before surgery, 1, 2, 3 and 7 days after surgery
Secondary	Pain intensity	The pain score at rest or after movement was evaluated by pain 11-point numerical rating scale (NRS): 0 = no pain, 10 = greatest imaginable pain.	1 hour after surgery, 1, 2, 3 and 7 days after surgery
Secondary	Adverse event	All kinds of adverse events (nausea, vomiting, tachycardia, hypertension, somnolence, dizziness, hallucination, diplopia, etc) occurred in patients were recorded	Within 1 hour after surgery, within 1 day after surgery
Secondary	preoperative hemoglobin concentration	Hemoglobin concentration in venous blood was measured.	the day before surgery
Secondary	Human Chorionic Gonadotropin level	Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) in venous blood was measured.	within one week before surgery, within one week after surgery
Secondary	The incidence of sleep disturbance on the day before surgery	Patients completed the sleep quality scale (AIS, Athens Insomnia Scale) on the day before surgery. The AIS has a total of 8 items,with scores ranging from 0 to 24 points, and a total score of 6 points or higher indicates a diagnosis of insomnia.We asked the patients to fill out this questionnaire on the day before surgery to evaluate the changes in sleep quality. We recorded AIS scores as statistical indicators.	the day before surgery
Secondary	The incidence of sleep disturbance before surgery	Patients completed the sleep quality scale (PSQI, Pittsburgh sleep quality index) on the day before surgery. The PSQI has a total of 24 items(Including 19 self-evaluation items and 5 other evaluation items),of which the 19th self-evaluation item and 5 other self-evaluation items do not participate in scoring, while the remaining 18 self-evaluation items participate in scoring, with each item scoring 0-3 points. The total score of the scale ranges from 0 to 21 points, with a total score higher than 5 indicating poor sleep quality. We require patients to fill out this questionnaire one day before surgery to evaluate whether they have had sleep disorders in the past month.We recorded PSQI scores as statistical indicators.	the day before surgery
