Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether continuous intraoperative infusion of esketamine combined with the addition of esketamine to postoperative PCIA can improve postoperative pain and sleep quality in patients undergoing laparoscopic uterine surgery under general anesthesia.

Detailed description

Esketamine is the right isomer of ketamine, which is better than the original ketamine and has fewer side effects. In addition, for some gynecological hysterectomy patients who have poor sleep quality and anxiety after surgery, Esketamine also has the effect of treating depression. Due to the side effects of postoperative nausea, vomiting and hyperalgesia caused by excessive dosage of some opioids, this study will continue to inject small doses of esketamine during the operation to reduce the intraoperative dosage of opioids, and add esketamine to the postoperative PCIA for analgesia. To explore whether this method can reduce the incidence of moderate and severe postoperative pain in patients with laparoscopic uterine surgery under general anesthesia.

Interventions

DRUGsaline

A maintenance dose of saline is 0.2mg/kg/h and postoperative PCIA regimen was Sufentanil 2ug/kg, ondansetron 16mg, diluted with appropriate normal saline, a total of 100ml

DRUGEsketamine

A maintenance dose of esketamine is 0.2mg/kg/h and postoperative PCIA regimen was Sufentanil 2ug/kg, ondanseetron 16mg, esketamine 0.75mg/kg, diluted with appropriate normal saline, a total of 100ml

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Moderate to severe pain2 hours, 4 hours, 8 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours after surgeryPain severity was measured using The NRS((Numerical Rating Scale), The NRS\>3 was considered moderate to severe pain.The NRS score at 2 hours, 4 hours, 8 hours, 12hours, 24hours after surgery was observed to determine whether intraoperative infusion of esketamine combined with perioperative analgesia regimen of esketamine in postoperative PCIA could reduce the incidence of postoperative moderate to severe pain in patients undergoing gynecological laparoscopic uterine surgeryesketamine to postoperative PCIA can reduce the incidence of postoperative moderate to severe pain in patients undergoing laparoscopic uterine surgery under general anesthesia
Incidence of adverse reactions including nausea, vomiting and dizzinessWithin 48 hours after surgeryPostoperative nausea, vomiting and dizziness is the subjective discomfort of dizziness, nausea, vomiting after the patient is awake, and the diagnosis can be made according to the clinical manifestations of the patient after surgery. Incidence of adverse reactions including nausea, vomiting and dizziness within 48 hours after surgery.
Sleep qualitythe first and second night after surgerySleep quality scores on the first and second night after surgery was assessed by AIS((Athens Insomnia Scale).The AIS\<4 was classified as no sleep disorder, AIS of 4 to 6 is classified as suspicious insomnia, AIS\>6 is classified as insomnia.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Remifentanil dosageDuring surgeryThe total amount of remifentanil used during surgery
Additional post-operative analgesicsWithin 48 hours after surgeryThe total amount of additional analgesics used after surgery (oral versus intramuscular)
Postoperative exhaust time of patientsWithin three days after surgeryHow long does the patient recover bowel motility after surgery
