Brief summary
During the past years, a large number of clinical trials have investigated the use of the non-competitive N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist racemic ketamine as an adjunct to local anaesthetics, opioids, or other analgesic agents for the management and prevention of postoperative pain. Actually racemic ketamine not only abolishes peripheral afferent noxious stimulation, but can also prevent the central nociceptor sensitization. S-ketamine, one of two enantiomers of racemic ketamine, has twice the analgesic potency of the racemate. Moreover, S-ketamine shows smaller nervous system and less psychotropic effects than racemic ketamine , which may make the drug more suitable for clinical use. Recently, S-ketamine has been approved to treat refractory depression (TRD) and major depressive disorder (MDD) by the FDA .S-ketamine may have greater clinical significance due to the high rate of maternal depression. Therefore, we plan to explore whether clinical use of S-ketamine can optimize anesthesia protocol and improve maternal prognosis.

Subjects judged by the investigator to be unsuitable to participate in this clinical study.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Intraoperative anesthesia effect | Day 1 | Anesthesia effect is graded I-IV. Level I means that it is very satisfactory, while Level IV means other anesthesia methods are needed to complete the operation. We expect to reach level I. |
| Ramsay Sedation Scale score | Day 1 | The Ramsay Sedation Scale (RSS) was the first scale to be defined for sedated patients and was designed as a test of rousability. The RSS scores sedation at six different levels, according to how rousable the patient is. |
| Clock-in-the-Box(CIB) | Day 0 & Day 2 | The Clock-in-the-Box (CIB) is a rapidly administered cognitive screening measure which has been previously validated with cognitive screening and neuropsychological assessments. The CIB is scored on a 0-8 point scale and the total score includes two separate subscale scores. The higher scores reflect better performance. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| placental transfer of S-ketamine | Day 0 | Placental transfer was evaluated based on the whole blood concentrations of S-ketamine in the maternal and cord blood |
| PHQ-9 | Day 0 & Day 3 & Day 8 & Day 43 | PHQ-9 is the major depressive disorder(MDD) module of the full PHQ. Used to provisionally diagnose depression and grade severity of symptoms in general medical and mental health settings. Scores each of the 9 DSM criteria of MDD as 0 (not at all) to 3 (nearly every day), providing a 0-27 severity score. Higher PHQ-9 scores are associated with decreased functional status and increased symptom-related difficulties, sick days, and healthcare utilization. |
| umbilical arterial (UA)/umbilical venous (UV) ratio | Day 0 | UA/UV ratio was evaluated based on the blood concentrations of S-ketamine in the umbilical arterial and umbilical venous blood |
| blood gas | Day 0 | Blood gases are a group of tests that are performed together to measure the pH and the amount of oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) present in a sample of blood |
| Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale(EPDS) | Day 3 & Day 8 & Day 43 | EPDS is a valuable and efficient way of identifying patients at risk for perinatal depression. Mothers who score above 13 are likely to be suffering from a depressive illness of varying severity depression. |
| Apgar score | Day 0 | The Apgar score is a test given to newborns soon after birth. This test checks a baby's heart rate, muscle tone, and other signs to see if extra medical care or emergency care is needed. The test is usually given twice: once at 1 minute after birth, and again at 5 minutes after birth. |
