Effects of the Different Doses of Esketamine on Postoperative Quality of Recovery in Patients Undergoing Modified Radical Mastectomy: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Controlled Trial

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

This study aims to investigate the effects of the different doses of esketamine on postoperative quality of recovery in patients undergoing modified radical mastectomy.

Methods

Ninety-nine female patients were randomly allocated to three groups: the low-dose esketamine group (group E1) (0.5 mg/kg loading, 2 µg/kg/h infusion), the high-dose esketamine group (group E2) (0.5 mg/kg loading, 4 µg/kg/h infusion), the control group (group C) (received normal saline). The primary outcome was the quality of recovery-15 (QoR-15) scores on postoperative day 1 (POD1) and days 3 (POD3). The secondary outcomes were the sleep quality scores on POD1, bispectral index (BIS) value at 10, 30, and 60 min after operation, numeric rating scale (NRS) pain scores within 24 h after surgery, nausea, vomiting, drowsiness, nightmare, and intraoperative awareness.

Results

The total QoR-15 scores were higher in group E1 and group E2 than in group C on POD1 and POD3 (P<0.05). The sleep quality scores on POD1 and BIS value at 10, 30, and 60 min after operation were higher in group E1 and group E2 than in group C (P<0.05). The NRS pain scores at 2, 4 and 6 h after surgery in group E1 and at 2, 4, 6, 12 and 24 h after surgery in group E2 were lower than in group C (P<0.05). The NRS pain scores at 6, 12 and 24 h after surgery in group E2 were lower than in group E1 (P<0.05). The incidence of drowsiness was higher in group E1 and group E2 than in group C (P<0.05).

Conclusion

Esketamine infusion improved to some extent the quality of recovery on POD1 and POD3 in patients undergoing modified radical mastectomy, especially 4 µg/kg/h esketamine was better, but the BIS value and incidence of drowsiness were significantly increased.

Project description:PurposeThis study evaluated the effect of a combined infusion of dexmedetomidine and esketamine on the quality of recovery in patients undergoing modified radical mastectomy.MethodsA total of 135 patients were randomly divided into three groups: dexmedetomidine group (group D) received dexmedetomidine (0.5 µg/kg loading, 0.4 µg/kg/h infusion), dexmedetomidine plus low-dose esketamine group (group DE1) received dexmedetomidine (0.5 µg/kg loading, 0.4 µg/kg/h infusion) and esketamine (0.5 mg/kg loading, 2 µg/kg/min infusion), dexmedetomidine plus high-dose esketamine group (group DE2) received dexmedetomidine (0.5 µg/kg loading, 0.4 µg/kg/h infusion) and esketamine (0.5 mg/kg loading, 4 µg/kg/min infusion). The primary outcome was the overall quality of recovery-15 (QoR-15) scores at 1 day after surgery. The secondary endpoints were total QoR-15 scores at 3 days after surgery, propofol and remifentanil requirement, awaking and extubation time, postoperative visual analogue scale (VAS) pain scores, rescue analgesic, nausea and vomiting, bradycardia, excessive sedation, nightmares, and agitation.ResultsThe overall QoR-15 scores were much higher in groups DE1 and DE2 than in groups D 1 and D 3 days after surgery (P < 0.05). VAS pain scores at 6, 12, 24 h postoperatively, propofol and remifentanil requirements were significantly lower in groups DE1 and DE2 than in group D (P < 0.05). Compared with group D, awaking time, extubation time, and post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) stay were significantly prolonged in groups DE1 and DE2 (P < 0.05) and were much longer in group DE2 than in group DE1 (P < 0.05). The proportion of postoperative rescue analgesics and bradycardia was higher and the incidence of excessive sedation was lower in group D than in groups DE1 and DE2 (P < 0.05).ConclusionDexmedetomidine plus esketamine partly improved postoperative recovery quality and decreased the incidence of bradycardia but prolonged awaking time, extubation time, and PACU stay, especially dexmedetomidine plus 4 µg/kg/min esketamine.

Project description:BackgroundThe utilization of shoulder arthroscopic surgery has progressively increased as a prevalent surgical approach for the treatment and repair of rotator cuff injury in clinical practice. However, early postoperative pain and neurological dysfunction remain significant factors that impact patients' postoperative recovery. Esketamine, an NMDA receptor antagonist, effectively reduces opioid consumption, attenuates postoperative inflammatory reactivity, and has also demonstrated neuroprotective effects. The aim of this study is to evaluate the quality of early recovery after anesthesia maintenance with esketamine in patients undergoing arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.MethodsThis is a single-center, randomized controlled trial. A total of 234 patients undergoing arthroscopic rotator cuff repair will be enrolled and randomized at a 1:1:1 ratio to receive general anesthesia with different doses of esketamine or saline solution. The primary outcome is the quality of early recovery scores based on the QoR-15 scale on postoperative day 1. Secondary outcomes include the quality of early recovery scores based on the QoR-15 scale on postoperative day 3, remifentanil consumption, use of vasoactive drugs, cerebral desaturation events, rescue analgesia during the post-anesthesia care unit stay, NRS pain scores on postoperative days 1 and 2, delirium within 3 days after surgery, and adverse events.DiscussionA randomized controlled trial design will be used in this study to assess the quality of early recovery scores in patients undergoing arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. Our objective is to investigate the potential of esketamine in mitigating the adverse effects associated with intraoperative controlled hypotension and assessing its impact on intraoperative cerebral oxygen saturation and postoperative delirium. Although this study is conducted at a single center, and there is limited research on the long-term effects of perioperative esketamine on patients, it still offers valuable insights for future studies.Trial registrationThis study has been approved by the Ethics Committee at West China Hospital, Sichuan University (approval no. 2023-2282).

Project description:IntroductionPotent analgesics such as sufentanil and remifentanil play a pivotal role in general anesthesia, but these medications have disadvantages, including respiratory depression, nausea, vomiting, immune system suppression, and gastrointestinal function inhibition. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of the transversus thoracic muscle plane-pectoral nerves (TTP-PECS) block on postoperative analgesia, immune function and early postoperative recovery quality in patients undergoing modified radical mastectomy under opioid-sparing general anesthesia.MethodsA total of 100 patients scheduled for modified radical mastectomy under general anesthesia were randomly divided into the TTP-PECS block combined with opioid-sparing general anesthesia group (TO group, n = 50) or the conventional general anesthesia group (GA group, n = 50). The TO group underwent TTP-PECS block prior to induction, using oxycodone as the analgesic during induction instead of sufentanil, no additional continuous infusion of analgesic was performed intra-operatively. Visual analogue scale (VAS) scores at rest and during movement at different time points were recorded in both groups, and the levels of T cell subsets, natural killer (NK) cells were measured before the surgery and at 24 h and 48 h after the surgery. Quality of Recovery-40 (QoR-40) scores were assessed at 24 h postoperatively, and the incidence of peri-operative adverse reactions was also observed in both groups.ResultsExcept for 48 h postoperatively, patients in the TO group had significantly lower VAS scores than those in the GA group at 2 h, 6 h, 12 h, and 24 h postoperatively at rest and during movement (P < 0.05). At 24 h and 48 h postoperatively, the expression of CD4+ T cells and the CD4+/CD8+ ratio were significantly higher in the TO group than in the GA group (P < 0.05). The QoR-40 scale, assessed at 24 h postoperatively, showed that the TO group significantly outperformed the GA group in total scores as well as in sub-scores for emotional state, physical comfort, physical independence, psychological support, and pain (P < 0.05). In addition, systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and heart rate (HR) were lower at time points T1-T4 than at T0 in both groups (P < 0.05), but the differences between the two groups were not statistically significant(P > 0.05). The incidence of cough reflex during induction and postoperative nausea and vomiting were significantly lower in the TO group than in the GA group (P < 0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in the incidence of other adverse reactions (P > 0.05).ConclusionsThe combination of TTP-PECS block and oxycodone-propofol opioid-sparing general anesthesia can provide superior postoperative analgesia and reduce the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting. It also alleviated the suppression of cellular immune function and improves the quality of early recovery in breast cancer patients. At the same time, opioid-sparing general anesthesia is a safe strategy for modified radical mastectomy.Trial registrationChinese Clinical Trial Registry; ChiCTR2200066753.

Project description:Background and aimTotal intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) has proven advantage over inhalational anesthesia in terms of stable hemodynamic, eco-friendly, and good recovery profile, but apprehension regarding adequate depth of anesthesia and intraoperative recall is still pertaining. This study aims to compare propofol-dexmedetomidine-based TIVA with sevoflurane-based inhalational anesthesia in modified radical mastectomy in terms of depth of anesthesia, intraoperative recall, recovery profile, and hemodynamic status.Settings and designThis prospective randomized controlled study was conducted at a tertiary care center over a time frame of 1 year.MethodologyIn this randomized controlled study, 100 patients were randomly distributed into two groups: TIVA (Group T) and inhalational anesthesia (Group I). Group T patients received injection dexmedetomidine: 1 μg.kg-1 over 10 min followed by 0.7 μg.kg-1.h-1 and injection propofol: 25-100 μg.kg-1.min-1. Ventilation was maintained with oxygen-air gas flow. In Group I, patients were ventilated with nitrous oxide-oxygen (50:50) and sevoflurane. Rest of anesthesia for both the groups was same. Primary objective was to achieve adequate depth of anesthesia as monitored by intraoperative bispectral index value (BIS, 40-60). Hemodynamic variables, recovery profile, and amount of individual anesthetic agent consumed were recorded for comparison between two groups. For comparison of scale variables between two groups, independent sample t-test for significant difference between two sample means has been followed.ResultsIntraoperative BIS and hemodynamic variables were comparable (P > 0.05). Emergence time was 5.10 min in the TIVA group versus 8.38 min in the inhalational group (P = 0.00). Modified Aldrete score was comparable in two groups (P > 0.05). Cost of TIVA agents consumed per patient was 40% lesser than inhalational agents.ConclusionTIVA maintains adequate depth of anesthesia along with stable hemodynamic and good recovery profile, at low cost in an eco-friendly manner.

Project description:BackgroundPerioperative sleep disorders (PSD) are an independent risk factor for postoperative delirium (POD), which is a common complication after surgery. Elderly patients who undergo robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) often experience perioperative sleep disorders (PSD). Dexamethasone, a medication that works by inhibiting the hypothalamic-pituitary-suprarenal cortical axis, can reduce the negative effects of surgical stress. The objective of this study was to determine whether intravenous administration of dexamethasone at the time of anesthesia induction could improve postoperative sleep quality in elderly patients, thereby indirectly reducing the risk of postoperative cognitive impairment and accelerating postoperative rehabilitation.Methods/designThis study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial that was conducted at a single center. A sample size of 116 patients was determined through calculation, and these patients were randomly assigned to either the dexamethasone group (group D, n = 58) or the blank control group (group C, n = 58). On the day of surgery, the anesthesia nurse prepared either diluted dexamethasone or saline in advance, according to the patient's assigned group. The blinded anesthesiologist administered the medication during induction, and a dedicated person followed up with the patient for three consecutive postoperative days. All other aspects of care were managed equally between the two groups. The primary outcome measure was sleep quality, while secondary outcome measures included postoperative sleep time, postoperative delirium (POD), pain scores, and other complications. Relevant test measures were recorded for analysis.DiscussionThis study aims to investigate the impact of intravenous dexamethasone on sleep quality and duration of patients undergoing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). If the findings of this study protocol are affirmative, it could enhance the sleep quality of elderly patients after surgery, thereby minimizing the risk of postoperative delirium (POD), and providing substantial evidence for the perioperative enhanced recovery management of elderly patients.Trial registrationChinese clinical trial registry: ChiCTR2200063488, Registered on 5 October 2022.
