Brief summary

This study intends to conduct postoperative sleep intervention for elderly patients with sleep disorders undergoing surgery. We hope to explore whether propofol can improve the postoperative sleep quality of elderly patients with sleep disorders, prevent the occurrence of postoperative delirium in elderly patients, relieve patients' pain, promote patients' postoperative rehabilitation, and provide reference for realizing the rapid rehabilitation of elderly patients with sleep disorders through intravenous administration of research drugs, on the premise of improving patient comfort and ensuring patient safety.

Detailed description

The purpose of this multicenter, randomized, controlled clinical study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of propofol compared with normal saline and dexmedetomidine in the effect of postoperative sleep quality in elderly subjects with sleep disorders. Subjects were randomly assigned to propofol group, dexmedetomidine group or normal saline control group. Propofol group: At 21:00 on the night of tracheal extubation, propofol was administered intravenously. MOAAS/S was used to evaluate subjects 30 seconds after the end of administration.Dexmedetomidine group: treated with dexmedetomidine at 21 PM on the day of tracheal extubation. During administration, patients were evaluated with MOAA/S every 2min. Normal saline control group: 21 on the night of tracheal extubation: Normal saline was injected intravenously at the rate of 0.5ml/(kg.h) beginning at 00. During the administration, patients were evaluated with MOAA/S every 2min. The effect of drugs on sleep improvement was evaluated by subjective scale and objective electrical monitoring.

Interventions

DRUGPropofol

At 21:00 on the night of tracheal extubation, propofol was administered intravenously with a microinjection pump for 2min. MOAAS/S was used to evaluate subjects 30 seconds after the end of administration.

DRUGDexmedetomidine

Dexmedetomidine was at 21 PM on the day of tracheal extubation: Dexmedetomidine was injected intravenously beginning at 00. During administration, patients were evaluated with MOAA/S every 2min.

DRUGSaline

At 21:00 PM on the day of tracheal extubation, normal saline was injected intravenously. During the administration, patients were evaluated with MOAA/S every 2 minutes.

QUADRUPLE (Subject, Caregiver, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor)

Masking description

The blind group included the principal investigator, and any other participants in the recording, evaluation, analysis, or review of efficacy/safety endpoint data, who were primarily responsible for study operations other than drug administration (e.g., subject screening, efficacy and safety indicator recording, statistical analysis, etc.).

Intervention model description

Patients were evaluated with MOAA/S by intravenous administration of propofol, dexmedetomidine, or normal saline until successful sleep (MOAA/S≤2)

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Sleep improvement efficiencyPreoperative, postoperative 1-7 days, postoperative 30 daysThe total score of The Leeds Sleep Evaluation Questionaire was \> 100 (The score ranges from 0 to 100, a higher scores mean a better outcome.), the incubation period of sleep was \< 30min, the sleep duration was \> 5h, and the sleep quality was good. Assess changes at several points in time.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Safety of drug useThe first night after surgeryAdverse events and serious adverse events.
Sleep scale assessmentPreoperative, postoperative 1-7 days, postoperative 30 daysPreoperative and postoperative sleep was assessed using Pittsburgh sleep quality index. Assess changes at several points in time.
