Brief summary

To evaluate whether esketamine can relieve anxiety in patients undergoing abdominal tumor surgery.

Detailed description

Hamilton anxiety Scale was used to screen patients with anxiety. Only patients with score ≥ 8 were enrolled. These patients were randomly assigned to the experimental group and control group. All patients enrolled were evaluated with Hamilton anxiety Scale, PHQ-8 scale, QoR-15 Scale and Athens Insomnia Scale. After induction, sevoflurane and remifentanil were used to maintain anesthesia. The experimental group had esketamine while the control group had normal saline. Athens Insomnia Scale was used to assess the sleep status 1, 2, 3 days after surgery and 1 month after surgery. Hamilton anxiety Scale was used to evaluate the anxiety state of the patients 3 days after surgery and 1 month after surgery. PHQ-8 scale, QoR-15 Scale were collected 3 days after surgery and 1 month after surgery.

Interventions

DRUGEsketamine

Esketamine 0.2mg/kg was pumped slowly after intubation, followed by 0.1mg/kg pumped until the end of the operation. In the PCIA pump, esketamine 1mg/kg was added to the sufentanil.

DRUGnormal saline

Same volume of normal saline was pumped slowly after intubation, followed by the same volume of NS until the end of the operation. In the PCIA pump, only sufentanil was used.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Whether esketamine can reduce anxiety status in patients with anxiety1 day before surgery, 3 days after surgery, 1 month after surgeryassessed by Hamilton anxiety scale. The score ranges from 0 to 56, while the higher score means a more anxious state.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
To explore whether esketamine can improve sleep status1 day before surgery, 1,2 and 3 days after surgery, 1 month after surgeryassessed by Athens Insomnia Scale. Athens Insomnia Scale ranges from o to 24, with a higher score means a worse sleep status.
To explore whether esketamine can improve life quality1 day before surgery, 3 days after surgery, 1 month after surgeryassessed by QoR-15 (quality of recovery-15). The score ranges from 0 (bad quality) to 150 (good quality).
