Brief summary

Patients undergoing gynecological surgery are at high risk of developing postoperative sleep disorders. Intraoperative opioid use is detrimental to the patient's postoperative recovery of gastrointestinal function. Esketamine has sedative, hypnotic, analgesic, inflammatory response suppression, and antidepressant effects. Its hypnotic mechanism may be related to its rapid blockade of NMDA receptors and hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated cation channels. Also can reduce the application of perioperative opioids, which in turn promotes the recovery of gastrointestinal function in patients after surgery.

Interventions

DRUGesketamine

The corresponding esketamine dose for each group was used at the end of anesthesia induction, and esketamine was changed to the corresponding maintenance dose for each group prior to surgical skin incision.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Changes in the level of actigraphyBaseline (the night before surgery), postoperative nights 1 and 2Through the actigraphy, monitor the patient's sleep quality.
Changes in the level of Pittsburgh sleep quality indexBaseline (the night before surgery), postoperative nights 1, 2 and 3Assess the patient's sleep quality by asking questions on the scale on a scale of 0-21, with higher scores representing poorer sleep quality.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Changes in the level of MelatoninPreoperatively, upon surgery completion, postoperative day 1The above results should be measured preoperatively, upon surgery completion, and on the 1st postoperative day.
Changes in the level of BDNFPreoperatively, upon surgery completion, postoperative day 1The above results should be measured preoperatively, upon surgery completion, and on the 1st postoperative day.
Changes in the level of IL-10Preoperatively, upon surgery completion, postoperative day 1The above results should be measured preoperatively, upon surgery completion, and on the 1st postoperative day.
Changes in the level of Heart RateBaseline (before induction), after loading dose of intervention, at the beginning of surgery, upon surgery completion, immediately after extubation, and 30min after transfer to the post-anesthesia care unitThe outcome above should be measured at the time before induction, after loading dose of intervention, at the beginning of surgery, upon surgery completion, immediately after extubation, and 30min after transfer to the post-anesthesia care unit.
Changes in the level of Mean Arterial PressureBaseline (before induction), after loading dose of intervention, at the beginning of surgery, upon surgery completion, immediately after extubation, and 30min after transfer to the post-anesthesia care unitThe outcome above should be measured at the time before induction, after loading dose of intervention, at the beginning of surgery, upon surgery completion, immediately after extubation, and 30min after transfer to the post-anesthesia care unit.
Changes in the level of the visual analogue scalePostoperative days 1 and 2Assess the patient's pain by asking on a scale of 0-10, with higher scores representing more severe pain.
Recovery of gastrointestinal functionPostoperative first 1 dayRecord the time of the first postoperative exhausting
Postoperative adverse reactionsPostoperative day 1Record the occurrence of adverse reactions (nausea and vomiting, nightmares, dizziness, and mirages) on the 1st postoperative day.
Changes in the level of Oxygen saturationBaseline (before induction), after loading dose of intervention, at the beginning of surgery, upon surgery completion, immediately after extubation, and 30min after transfer to the post-anesthesia care unitThe outcome above should be measured at the time before induction, after loading dose of intervention, at the beginning of surgery, upon surgery completion, immediately after extubation, and 30min after transfer to the post-anesthesia care unit.
Changes in the level of IL-6Preoperatively, upon surgery completion, postoperative day 1The above results should be measured preoperatively, upon surgery completion, and on the 1st postoperative day.
