Conditions

Quality of Postoperative Recovery

Brief summary

To explore the effect of subanesthetic-dose esketamine combined with different general anesthetic drugs on the quality of postoperative recovery in patients undergoing painless gastrointestinal endoscopy.

Detailed description

In this study, we planned to conduct a single-center, prospective, randomized, controlled, double-blind clinical trial to explore the effect of subanesthetic dose esketamine combined with different general anesthesia drugs on the postoperative recovery quality of patients undergoing painless gastrointestinal endoscopy combined with several commonly used intravenous general anesthesia drugs, aiming at gastroscopy combined with colonoscopy, a representative type of diagnosis and treatment of painless and comfortable anesthesia, and to provide more evidence-based medical evidence for clinical work.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Quality of Recovery-15Postoperative day 1 and 3The QoR-15 (Quality of Recovery-15) evaluates the quality of recovery across five dimensions: physical comfort (50 points), emotional state (40 points), physical independence (20 points), psychological support (20 points), and pain (20 points). The total score of the QoR-15 ranges from 0 (indicating the poorest quality of recovery) to 150 (representing the best quality of recovery).

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Anesthesia Recovery Timeduring surgery and arrived at PACU (up to 30 minutes after surgery)The time interval between the last administration of general anesthetic agent(s) and the moment when the patient achieves a Modified Aldrete Score of ≥9.
Procedure Durationduring surgery and arrived at PACU (up to 30 minutes after surgery)From the beginning of gastroscopy to the end of colonoscopy withdrawal
PACU residence timeduring surgery and arrived at PACU (up to 30 minutes after surgery)The time from entering the PACU to leaving the PACU after the end of gastroscopy combined with colonoscopy;
Anesthetic drug useduring surgery and arrived at PACU (up to 30 minutes after surgery)Total amount of sedative medication used, number of cases of norepinephrine, and number of cases of remifentanil.
Perioperative vital signsPerioperativeThe following parameters: Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP), Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP), Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP), Heart Rate (HR), and Peripheral Oxygen Saturation (SpO₂) were measured and recorded at the following time points: before anesthesia induction (T0), immediately after anesthesia induction (T1), at the moment when the gastroscope entered the larynx (T2), when the gastroscope was withdrawn from the pharyngeal cavity (T3), when the colonoscope entered the anus (T4), and at the completion of colonoscopy (T5).
The length of the patient's stay in the hospital after leaving the endoscopy center in the PACUPostoperativeThe length of the patient's stay in the hospital from the time the patient leaves the PACU until he leaves the hospital.
The way the patient leaves the hospitalPostoperativeThe patient's method of leaving the hospital, such as walking on their own, driving any means of transportation, etc.
Satisfaction scorePostoperativePatient, anesthesiologist, and digestive endoscopist satisfaction with the whole gastroscopy combined with colonoscopy. Using the NRS, eleven numbers from 0-10 represent satisfaction, with 0 being dissatisfied and 10 being the most satisfied.
The way the patient leaves the endoscopy centerPostoperativeThe way in which the patient is discharged from the PACU after the anesthesia resuscitation is up to standard;
