Brief summary

To explore and compare the effects of esketamine and remimazolam on postoperative sleep disturbance in patients undergoing oocyte retrieval

Detailed description

Postoperative sleep disturbance (PSD) occur in the form of sleep deprivation, circadian rhythm disturbance, and structural abnormalities, and have a high incidence in patients undergoing surgery. Postoperative sleep disorders can lead to postoperative delirium and cognitive dysfunction, aggravate postoperative acute pain, and delay postoperative recovery. Benzodiazepines have a certain sedative hypnotic anti-anxiety effect, and remimazolam as a new benzodiazepine, its sedative hypnotic anti-anxiety effect is worthy of further exploration. Esketamine is an N-methyl-D-aspartate(NMDA) receptor antagonist with analgesic and sedative effects, and is widely used in clinical treatment of refractory depression. For patients undergoing surgery, in addition to sedation and analgesia, whether the intraoperative use of esketamine has positive effects on postoperative sleep disturbance is worth exploring.

Interventions

DRUGEsketamine

Patients undergoing oocyte retrieval were given esketamine 0.2mg/kg before anesthesia and surgery

DRUGRemimazolam

Patients undergoing oocyte retrieval were given remimazolam 0.2mg/kg before anesthesia and surgery

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
The incidence of postoperative sleep disturbance on the first night after surgerythe first night after surgeryPatients completed the sleep quality scale(AIS, Athens Insomnia Scale) on the first day after surgery.The AIS has a total of 8 items,with scores ranging from 0 to 24 points, and a total score of 6 points or higher indicates a diagnosis of insomnia.We asked the patients to fill out this questionnaire after the first postoperative night to evaluate the changes in sleep quality. We recorded AIS scores as statistical indicators.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Somatokinetic reactionIntraoperativeThe number of intraoperative body movements was recorded
Operation timeIntraoperativeThe duration of the patient's operation was recorded(up to 24 h)
Duration of anesthesiaIntraoperativeThe patient's duration of anesthesia was recorded(up to 24 h)
Time to walking downWithin1 hour after surgeryRecord the time from waking up to walking down(up to 24 h)
The incidence of sleep disturbance one day before surgeryone day before surgeryPatients completed the sleep quality scales(AIS, Athens Insomnia Scale) on the day before surgery.The AIS has a total of 8 items,with scores ranging from 0 to 24 points, and a total score of 6 points or higher indicates a diagnosis of insomnia. We asked the patients to fill out this questionnaire on the day before surgery to evaluate patients' preoperative sleep quality. We recorded AIS scores as statistical indicators.
Oxygen saturationIntraoperativeThe mean intraoperative oxygen saturation was recorded
The incidence of postoperative sleep disturbance on the second and third postoperative nightsthe second and third nights after surgeryPatients completed the sleep quality scale(AIS, Athens Insomnia Scale) on the second and third day after surgery.The AIS has a total of 8 items,with scores ranging from 0 to 24 points, and a total score of 6 points or higher indicates a diagnosis of insomnia.We asked the patients to fill out this questionnaire after the second and third postoperative nights to evaluate the changes in sleep quality. We recorded AIS scores as statistical indicators.
Postoperative anxiety1 day before surgery ,1 and 2 days after surgeryPatients completed the anxiety rating scales(HADS-A,Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale-Anxiety subscale)on the day before surgery.HADS-A consists of 7 items,each question in the questionnaire was scored on a scale of 0-3, and a total score of 8 points or higher is diagnosed as anxiety.And we asked the patients to fill out this questionnaire on the 1 and 2 days after surgery again to evaluate the changes in anxiety. We recorded HADS-A scores as statistical indicators.
Postoperative depression1 day before surgery ,1 and 2 days after surgeryPatients completed the depression rating scales(HADS-D,Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale-Depression subscale)on the day before surgery.HADS-D consists of 7 items,each question in the questionnaire was scored on a scale of 0-3, and a total score of 8 points or higher is diagnosed as depression.And we asked the patients to fill out this questionnaire on the 1 and 2 days after surgery again to evaluate the changes in depression. We recorded HADS-D scores as statistical indicators.
Pain Score (NRS)1 and 2 days after surgeryThe pain score at rest or after movement was evaluated by pain 11-point numerical rating scale (NRS): 0 = no pain, 10 = greatest imaginable pain.
Mean intraoperative blood pressureIntraoperativeThe mean intraoperative blood pressure was recorded
Adverse eventWithin 3 days after surgeryAll kinds of adverse events(PONV、hypotension、hypertension,etc) occurred in patients were recorded
