Filter by: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.
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.
