Brief Summary
Patients in the esketamine group was induced with esketamine 0.5 mg/kg, propofol 2 mg/kg, and rocuronium 0.9 mg/kg. Anesthesia is maintained with propofol 5 mg/kg/h and esketamine 0.5 mg/kg/h. Patients in the opioid group was induced with sufentanil 0.5 ug/kg, propofol 2 mg/kg, rocuronium 0.9 mg/kg. Anesthesia is maintained with propofol 5 mg/ kg/h and remifentanil 0.1 ug/kg/min.

Conditions
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Static Lung Compliance
Respiratory parameters displayed on the anesthesia ventilator were recorded during one-lung ventilation. The formula: static lung compliance = tidal volume/platform pressure (Pplat) - positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) was used to calculate the compliance of the ventilate lung.
During the operation (at 30 minutes of one-lung ventilation).
Secondary Outcomes (10)
Static lung compliance during operation
At the beginning of double lung ventilation, start of one-lung ventilation, and end of surgery.
Perioperative pulmonary function
The day before surgery, one day after surgery, two days after surgery, three days after surgery
Blood pressure
At admission, immediately before intubation, immediately after intubation, at the beginning of double lung ventilation, start of one-lung ventilation, 30 min after the start of one-lung ventilation, end of surgery, and on transfer from the PACU.
Heart rate
At admission, immediately before intubation, immediately after intubation, at the beginning of double lung ventilation, start of one-lung ventilation, 30 min after the start of one-lung ventilation, end of surgery, and on transfer from the PACU.
Blood gas analysis results
At admission, at the beginning of double lung ventilation, one-lung ventilation for 30 minutes, end of surgery, and transfer from the PACU.
- +5 more secondary outcomes
Study Arms (2)
Esketamine group
EXPERIMENTALPatients in the esketamine group was induced with esketamine 0.5 mg/kg, propofol 2 mg/kg, and rocuronium 0.9 mg/kg. Anesthesia is maintained with propofol 5 mg/kg/h and esketamine 0.5 mg/kg/h
opioid group
ACTIVE COMPARATORPatients in the opioid group was induced with sufentanil 0.5 ug/kg, propofol 2 mg/kg, rocuronium 0.9 mg/kg. Anesthesia is maintained with propofol 5 mg/kg/h and remifentanil 0.1 ug/kg/min
Interventions
The esketamine group used esketamine as an analgesic during induction and maintenance of anesthesia.
In the opioid group, sufentanil was used as an analgesic during anesthesia induction and remifentanil was used as an analgesic during anesthesia maintenance.
