Filter by:Sleep disturbances are prevalent in older patients with osteoarthrosis or fracture who are scheduled for knee or hip replacement surgery. The occurrence of sleep disturbances is associated with worse outcomes including increased risk of delirium and cardiac events, and worsened functional recovery. Dexmedetomidine is a highly selective α2-adrenergic agonist with sedative, anxiolytic, and analgesic properties. It exerts sedative effects via activating the endogenous sleep pathways and produces a state like non-rapid eye movement sleep, which is different from opioid- and benzodiazepine-induced sedation. Esketamine is a N-methyl-D-aspartic acid receptor antagonist and has been used as an anesthetic and analgesic. Recent studies showed that low-dose esketamine has anti-depressive and sleep-promoting effects. The investigators suppose that mini-dose dexmedetomidine-esketamine combined infusion at night can improve perioperative sleep quality in patients scheduled for knee or hip replacement surgery.
The propofol-refentanil program-controlled closed-loop target-controlled infusion system based on NI guidance has been clinically verified. In the case of clinical use of esketamine, the separation anesthesia properties do not affect the accuracy and safety of closed-loop system guidance. However, whether the specific degree of impact can be quantified, and based on quantitative indicators, this model can be better applied to a wider range of clinical actual conditions and different drug administration backgrounds.
Sufentanil has the advantages of fast onset time, strong analgesic function and cardiovascular stability, and is widely used during general anesthesia induction. However, sufentanil can cause cough during induction of general anesthesia. Different studies have reported that the incidence of sufentanil-induced cough ( SIC ) during anesthesia is 16-42 %. This pathological condition may lead to damage to the central nervous system, increase the risk of reflux and aspiration, increase intracranial pressure and intraocular pressure, and endanger patients with cerebral aneurysms and ocular trauma. Therefore, at the moment of advocating comfortable anesthesia medical services, sufentanil-induced cough response is a problem that clinical anesthesiologists need to focus on and urgently solve. It has been reported that ketamine can reduce the incidence of cough caused by opioids. Esketamine is a pure dextro-enantiomer of ketamine and an NMDA antagonist with potent analgesic and bronchodilator effects. In this study, Dixon sequential method was used to study the median effective dose ( ED50 ) of intravenous esketamine pretreatment to prevent sufentanil-induced cough, and to explore the effect of age on ED50. To provide reference for clinical rational selection of esketamine dose.
Breast cancer patients often have sleep disturbances during the perioperative period. Dexmedetomidine is a highly selective alpha 2-adrenoceptor agonist with sedative, anxiolytic, and analgesic effects. Previous studies showed that night-time low-dose dexmedetomidine infusion improved sleep quality. Esketamine is a N-methyl-D-aspartic acid receptor antagonist and has been used as an anesthetic and analgesic. Recent studies showed that low-dose esketamine has anti-depressive and sleep-promoting effects. The investigators suppose that low-dose dexmedetomidine-esketamine combined nasal administration at night can improve perioperative sleep quality in patients scheduled for breast cancer surgery.
Chronic postsurgical pain (CPSP) refers to pain that occurs or increases after surgery and lasts longer than 3 months. Severe postoperative acute pain is one of the major risk factors of CPSP. Spine surgery brings severe postoperative pain due to large trauma and long duration. Ketamine and esketamine are N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonists; they have anti-hyperalgesic 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 the investigators, 200 patients following scoliosis correction surgery were randomzied to receive opioid analgsia supplemented with either mini-dose esketamine-dexmedetomidine combination or placebo. The results showed that esketamine-dexmedetomidine supplement analgesia significantly improved analgesia and sleep quality after surgery. This study is designed to test the hypothesis that mini-dose esketamine-dexmedetomidine supplemented analgesia may reduce CPSP at 2 years after scoliosis correction surgery.
Dexmedetomidine and ketamine are both suggested for sedation and analgesia in ICU patients with mechanical ventilation. Recent studies suggest that low-dose dexmedetomidine or ketamine/esketamine may improve sleep quality of ICU patients. The purpose of this trial is to observe whether night-time infusion of low-dose dexmedetomidine-esketamine combination can improve sleep structure of patients with mechanical ventilation in the ICU.
Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the gastrointestinal tract with symptoms evolving in a relapsing and remitting manner. Typically, the peak incidence of CD is 18 to 35 years , which means that patients with CD will be plagued by the disease during their most precious years, and nearly 35% of them will develop depressive symptoms. For 70% of patients with CD who need surgery, the incidence of preoperative depression may be higher. The CD cohort with diagnosable psychological condition has been shown to experience a higher rate of disease exacerbation than the CD cohort without psycho complication. At the same time, this depressive mood may make postoperative recovery more difficult, so it is necessary to alleviate postoperative depression. Ketamine, a widely used anesthetic, is also used to treat depression. The most used ketamine in clinical practice is racemic ketamine, but its use is associated with many complications such as psychotic adverse effects and neurotoxicity. In recent years, S-ketamine has received attention for better efficacy and fewer complications . In 2019, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved S-ketamine nasal spray for the treatment of refractory depression and subsequently received approval from numerous health authorities around the world. This proves that S-ketamine can provide a rapid antidepressant effect in patients with depression in a non-surgical setting. However, it is inconclusive whether S-ketamine affects surgical patients, mainly because of differences in the type of surgery, the dosage administered, the interaction with analgesics, and the evaluation tools implemented. Studies have shown that small doses of S-ketamine in breast cancer surgery and cervical cancer surgery can reduce postoperative depression. However, the effects of S-ketamine on postoperative depression (POD) and pain in patients with CD have not been studied.
Thoracic surgery can produce severe postoperative acute pain, which can easily lead to cough weakness, atelectasis, respiratory restriction, pneumonia, hypoxemia, secretion retention, respiratory failure and other adverse events. Esketamine can reduce the demand of analgesic opioids, reduce the respiratory depression caused by opioids, improve ventilation, significantly reduce postoperative pain and prolong the analgesic time after thoracic surgery. Therefore, the application of esketamine in postoperative analgesia of patients undergoing thoracoscopic surgery may help to improve the respiratory function of clinical patients and further improve the postoperative analgesia effect, so as to achieve the purpose of accelerating the surgical rehabilitation of patients undergoing thoracoscopic surgery. Esketamine is rarely used in perioperative period in China, and the development of its safe and reasonable application methods and potential role in perioperative anesthesia needs further research and verification. Generally speaking, at present, there is still a lack of evaluation of ketamine in improving respiratory function, pain, anxiety and depression after thoracoscopic surgery, and there is no direct clinical evidence. At present, sufentanil is the most commonly used drug for postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing clinical surgery. As a strong opioid, although sufentanil can provide good analgesic effect, the respiratory depression caused by sufentanil is not conducive to the recovery of postoperative lung function in patients undergoing thoracic surgery. The action sites of esketamine include N- methyl-aspartic acid (NMDA) receptor, opioid receptor, monoamine receptor, M cholinergic receptor, sodium channel, calcium channel, etc., which can relieve respiratory depression caused by opioids, stimulate respiration, relax airway smooth muscle, prevent hyperalgesia caused by opioids, reduce the dosage of postoperative analgesics and prolong the duration of postoperative analgesia. Therefore, esketamine is likely to improve postoperative respiratory function of patients after thoracoscopic surgery and play a good role. To sum up, this study is intended to include patients undergoing elective thoracoscopic surgery. Through a prospective randomized controlled double-blind clinical trial, different analgesic drugs of intravenous patient-controlled analgesia and simple conventional opioid analgesic sufentanil are used as the control. Combined with the investigation of preoperative and postoperative tidal volume, oxygenation index, postoperative pain and postoperative recovery outcome, the effects of esketamine on postoperative respiratory function, postoperative pain and overall rehabilitation of these patients are compared, so as to provide direct clinical evidence for improving postoperative lung function of patients undergoing elective thoracoscopic surgery, and at the same time, provide a choice for thoracoscopic surgery. To explore the effect of esketamine on improving postoperative respiratory function, pain, depression and anxiety and overall rehabilitation of patients undergoing thoracoscopic surgery. Compound esketamine is used for postoperative analgesia, thus providing direct clinical evidence for improving postoperative pulmonary function of patients undergoing elective thoracoscopic surgery, and providing reference for improving postoperative pain, anxiety and depression of patients undergoing elective thoracoscopic surgery.
Postsurgical pain is now known to be one of the most common and difficult-to-treat complications of surgery. severe postoperative pain can significantly impair patients' quality of life, social functioning and contribute to excessive health care expenditures. It is worth noting that acute postoperative pain may play a vital role in central sensitization and up-regulation of pain receptors, even factors implicated in the development of CPSP. According to previous studies, the incidence of postoperative pain among patients undergoing spinal surgery was nearly 80%. At the same time, perioperative pain management of patients undergoing spinal surgery has not been clearly. For the past few years, pregabalin and esketamine are becoming important roles in perioperative pain management, lots of studies have shown that these two analgesics might relieve postoperative pain. The aim of this study was to evaluate the acute analgesic effects of esketamine and pregabalin in combination after spinal cord neoplasms resection, so as to find a better way to help the patients undergoing spinal surgery keep away from the acute perioperative pain.
This study was to explore the preventive effect of esketamine on postpartum depression in cesarean section, and to evaluate the safety of the drug
