Filter by:Patients with mechanical ventilation in the intensive care unit (ICU) often develop anxiety and agitation, sleep distuebances, and delirium. Delirium occurrence is associated with worse early and long-term outcomes. Dexmedetomidine and ketamine are recommended for sedation and analgesia in ICU patients, but each may induce side effects. The sedative effects of dexmedetomidine can help mitigate the psychiatric side effects of esketamine. Recent studies showed that dexmedetomidine-esketamine combination improved analgesia and sleep quality without increasing psychiatric side effects. This trial is designed to test the hypothesis that dexmedetomidine-esketamine combination for sedation and analgesia in ICU patients with mechanical ventilation may reduce delirium and improve respiratory recovery.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the effect of intraoperative esketamine infusion on postoperative sleep disturbance(PSD) of patients undergoing spinal surgery. The main aims to answer are: - To explore the effect of intraoperative infusion of esketamine on the incidence of postoperative sleep disturbance and sleep quality in patients undergoing spinal surgery. - To explore the effect of intraoperative infusion of esketamine on postoperative pain, anxiety and depression ; Participants will be patients undergoing spinal surgery with general anesthesia at Beijing Tiantan Hospital. 0.3mg/kg/h esketamine or saline will be infused during surgery . The incidence of sleep disturbance , sleep quality, pain scores, hospital anxiety and depression scores and perioperative adverse events after surgery will be investigated.
Catheter-related bladder discomfort (CRBD) is common in patients awaking from general anesthesia with an urinary catheter. We suppose that that use of dexmedetomidine and/or esketamine during anesthesia may reduce the occurrence of CRBD. This 2x2 factorial randomized trial is designed to explore the effects of esketamine, dexmedetomidine, and their combination on the occurrence CRBD in patients undergoing transurethral urological surgery.
Post-thoracotomy pain syndrome (PTPS) affects respiratory function, hindering sputum clearance and ventilation, and represents a significant complication of thoracic surgery. The analgesic effect of esketamine combined with butorphanol in PTPS is still unclear, so this study focused on this aspect.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the effect of intraoperative infusion of subanesthetic dose of esketamine on conscious status in patients with prolonged disorders of consciousness under sevoflurane anesthesia. Participants will be patients with prolonged disorders of consciousness undergoing surgery with general anesthesia at Beijing Tiantan Hospital. 0.3mg/kg esketamine or saline will be infused will be infused intravenously at a constant speed within 30 min after tracheal intubation/pneumatectomy fixation. Coma recovery scale-revised, Glasgow coma scale, Full Outline of UnResponsiveness scores, SedLine multi-channel electroencephalogram and perioperative adverse events after surgery will be investigated.
Chronic postsurgical pain has become one of the most common complications of surgery. The quality of life will be impacted once the postsurgical patients are combined with persistent pain. What's more, the postsurgical pain may increase other adverse outcomes. It's important to find a better way to keep the postsurgical patients away from postoperative pain. Esketamine and pregabalin have become potentially effective drugs on CPSP.
Chronic postsurgical pain (CPSP) refers to pain that occurs or increases after surgery and lasts longer than 3 months. Severe acute postoperative pain is one of the major risk factors of CPSP. Spinal correction surgery is associated with severe pain due to large trauma and long duration. Ketamine and esketamine are N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonists; they have antihyperalgesic effects and may reduce CPSP. Dexmedetomidine is an alpha 2-adrenoceptor agonist with sedative, anxiolytic, and analgesic effect; it is frequently used as an adjuvant to postoperative analgesia. In a previous trial of 200 patients after scoliosis correction surgery, mini-dose esketamine-dexmedetomidine in combination with opioids significantly improved analgesia and sleep quality but did not reduce CPSP. The authors speculate that increasing esketamine dose in the combination may further improve analgesia and, therefore, reduce the occurrence of CPSP.
Scoliosis correction surgery is associated with severe pain. Patients after scoliosis correction surgery usually require high dose opioids and long duration analgesia, which may increase side effects and drug tolerance. In a recent trial, mini-dose esketamine and dexmedetomidine combination as a supplement to sufentanil significantly improved analgesia and subjective sleep quality after spinal correction surgery without increasing adverse events; however, the proportion of patients with moderate-to-severe pain remained high. The authors speculate that increasing esketamine dose in the combination may further improve analgesic effects.
Fentanyl and esketamine are both standard of care for treatment of acute severe traumatic pain in the prehospital setting in the Netherlands. However, it is not known whether they are equally effective and safe. It is also not known whether intranasal (IN) administration of fentanyl or esketamine is equally effective and safe as intravenous (IV) administration. The FORE-PAIN trial is a double-blind multi-arm randomized non-inferiority trial comparing Fentanyl IN, esketamine IV and esketamine IN (intervention arms) to fentanyl IV (comparator arm) for prehospital management of traumatic pain. The investigators hypothesize that all intervention arms provide analgesia that is non-inferior to the comparator arm, and that all study arms are equally safe.
Percutaneous radiofrequency ablation is a commonly treatment for patients with liver cancer that cannot be surgically resected. During the procedure, patients need to keep awake and cooperate with the procedure, including deep breath and hold breath. However, intolerable pain generated during puncture and radiofrequency heating may cause body movements and interfere the procedure. Oxycodone is frequently used for analgesia but still insufficient. A recent study showed that dexmedetomidine-esketamine combination improves analgesia without increasing adverse events. After stopping infusion, the analgesic/sleep-promoting effects of dexmedetomidine-esketamine seemed to last for up to 24 hours. The investigators hypothesize that dexmedetomidine-esketamine combination as a supplement to oxycodone will improve sedation and analgesia in patients undergoing radiofrequency liver ablation of the liver.
