Brief Summary

Patients with severe and above degree burns are often complicated with inhalation injury and systemic infection. During debridement and dressing change in such patients, doctors will be more cautious in using analgesics. Patients often moan, shiver and limb movement due to insufficient sedation and analgesia, resulting in unpleasant feelings and experiences, which increases the anxiety of patients during hospitalization. Previous studies have shown that the use of ketamine in burn patients during dressing change can produce good analgesia and maintain stable vital signs. Esketamine, the dextral monomer of ketamine, has hypnotic, sedative and analgesic effects and could be safely used in clinical anesthesia. Compared with ketamine, esketamine has stronger analgesic efficacy and less circulatory influence, which is more consistent with the characteristics of ideal analgesic drugs in burn dressing. As an FDA-approved drug for the treatment of refractory depression, esketamine has potential social benefits in burn patients due to its rapid antidepressant pharmacological properties. This study hypothesized that esketamine could reduce the pain of dressing change in patients with severe burns and reduce the occurrence of early depression in such patients. This study adopted a prospective, double-blind, randomized, controlled, single-center design. A total of 52 severe burn patients aged 18-60 years who need debridement and dressing change under sedation and analgesia were included and randomly divided into the experiment group: esketamine would be used in the induction phase; the control group: esketamine would not be used in the induction phase. Both groups were given dexmedetomidine and butofinol before induction, and fentanyl as a remedy during the dressing change phase. The dosage of fentanyl in the dressing change phase, the pain score (SF-MPQ) after recovery, the incidence of sedation-related complication were compared between the two groups. This study explores the advantages of esketamine in reducing the use of opioids and the pain score of patients.

Masking Details
This study was double-blind, including subjects, anesthesia operators, data collectors and dressing change operators. Nurse Song Yi opened the random envelope, diluted the drugs with normal saline according to the grouping information and filled them into a 10ml syringe. The syringe was labeled (marked with subject number, name and hospitalization number), and the grouping information was destroyed after confirmation, and confidentiality was strictly observed. Fully equipped drugs are given to the anesthesiologist and empty envelopes are given to the data collector.
