Filter by:This study was conducted to determine the effect of progressive relaxation exercises with music therapy on sleep quality and pain severity of patients hospitalized in the surgical departments of a university hospital.This single-blind, pre-test-post-test with control group design quasi-experimental study was carried out between March-July 2019. 31 patients who were hospitalized in surgical departments for at least one week and regularly performed relaxation exercises consisted of experimental group, and 31 patients who were hospitalized for at least one week but did not do relaxation exercises consisted of control group. The study data were collected by using "Descriptive Characteristics Form", pain severity of patients was measured using "Visual Analogue Scale", and sleep quality of patients was measured using "Visual Analogue Sleep Scale". The patients were asked to perform the exercises with music an average of 30 min before sleeping every day for a week. The observation of the nurse working in department and the patient's statement were used for control. The ethical permission and the approval of hospital management were obtained for the study. In the statistical analysis of the data, independent sample t test, one-way anova and paired sample t test were used. Statistical significance level was taken as p<.05.
Sleep is a naturally occurring state of decreased arousal that is crucial for normal immune and cognitive function. Although surgery and anesthesia techniques have improved in recent years, sleep function and sleep cycles may still be altered perioperatively by surgery and other interventions under general anesthesia.Postoperative sleep fragmentation and poor sleep quality not only lead to hyperalgesia and delayed postoperative recovery, but can increase the risk of potential adverse effects, such as cognitive impairment, chronic pain and emotional disturbances, metabolic disorders, and pro-inflammatory changes. General anesthesia is a medically induced state of hyporesponsiveness that resembles natural sleep. Studies have shown that general anesthesia can lead to circadian rhythm time structure dyssynchrony, resulting in postoperative sleep disturbance, characterized by decreases in rapid eye movement (REM) and slow wave sleep (SWS). Previous studies have also reported that age, preoperative comorbidities, and severity of surgical trauma are independent factors associated with postoperative sleep disturbance. In addition, anxiety is an unpleasant sensation that compromises patients' comfort and well-being. A study by Ruis et al. estimated that 25-80% of patients admitted for surgery experienced preoperative anxiety, including fear of surgery and anesthesia-related fears. Furthermore, preoperative anxiety was recognized as a potential and preventable risk factor for severe postoperative pain and postoperative complications such as increased postoperative morbidity and mortality. Given that several prior studies have reported that preoperative anxiety has an effect on postoperative sleep quality in patients undergoing gynecological surgery, this study aimed to investigate the effect of preoperative anxiety on postoperative outcomes and sleep quality in patients undergoing gynecological surgery. Studying these results could enable us to better manage patients during the perioperative period to promote their postoperative recovery.
Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery(VATS) is among the most common and disabling persistent pain and inflammation conditions, with increasing prevalence in the developed world, and affects women to a greater degree than men. And sleep disruption also remains a challenging problem in surgical settings. Postoperative sleep disturbances (POSD) are defined as changes in the sleep structure and quality of patients during the early stages after surgery, which are manifested as significantly shortened rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, prolonged awake time, and sleep fragmentation. Long-term POSD may increase the risk of postoperative delirium or cognitive dysfunction and delay recovery, thereby worsening the patient's physical condition. The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of sex differences on postoperative pain, inflammation and sleep quality among patients who have undergone video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery under general anesthesia.
General anesthesia is a medically induced state of low reactivity consciousness which is similar to natural sleep.Some studies found that general anesthesia as an independent risk factor could result in a desynchronization of the circadian time structure and cause postoperative sleep disorders characterized by reduced rapid eye movement (REM) and slow wave sleep (SWS),which have significant deleterious impacts on postoperative outcomes, such as postoperative fatigue, severe anxiety and depression, emotional detachment and delirium, and even pain sensitivity or postoperative pain of patients.Acupuncture can regulate plant nerve activity by increasing slow-wave sleep time to improve sleep quality.The results of polysomnography monitoring showed that the sleep latency, total sleep time, awakening index and sleep quality were all significant improved after acupuncture treatment.And transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation（TAES） works by stimulating Shu yu acupoints, which is more convenient than the normal electric acupuncture. The purpose of this paper is to study the effect of TAES on sleep after thoracoscopic surgery
Adequate sleep is necessary for physical and mental health of human being. Although surgery and anesthesia techniques have improved in resent years, postoperative sleep disturbance remains a challenging problem in surgical procedures1. Postoperative sleep fragmentation and poor sleep quality can not only result in hyperalgesia and a delay in postoperative recovery2, lack of sleep after surgery can also bring many potential adverse effects such as cognitive disorders (such as delusions, delirium), chronic pain, mood disorders, metabolic disorders, and pro-inflammatory changes3-5. Previous studies have reported that age, preoperative comorbidity and severity of surgical trauma were independent factors that associated with postoperative sleep disturbance6,7. Our prior studies have also found that patients are more likely to experience decreased sleep quality after receiving general anesthesia, which was characterized by a decrease in each sleep stage8. Propofol and sevoflurane are commonly used general anesthetics in clinical practice. The choice of anesthetic may also affect the cognitive outcome after surgery, but the results of clinical studies have always been contradictory. Some studies report that the cognitive results after inhalation are worse than those after intravenous anesthesia. And the incidence of dreaming was significantly higher in the sevoflurane anesthesia group compared to the propofol group9-11. Another study conduct among infants proved that compared with propofol-remifentanil, sevoflurane appears to be associated with less sleep disturbances in the first weeks after surgery12. Based on these conflicts, the aim of the current study was to compare the effect of propofol vs sevoflurane on early postoperative sleep quality and complications of patients receiving laparoscopic surgery after general anesthesia.
The investigators designed a study to determine whether Propofol or Sevoflurane would provide same postoperative sleep quality in patients undergoing thyroidectomy.
