NCT06451627

Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the effect of intraoperative esketamine infusion on postoperative sleep disturbance(PSD) of patients undergoing spinal surgery. The main aims to answer are:

  • To explore the effect of intraoperative infusion of esketamine on the incidence of postoperative sleep disturbance and sleep quality in patients undergoing spinal surgery.
  • To explore the effect of intraoperative infusion of esketamine on postoperative pain, anxiety and depression ; Participants will be patients undergoing spinal surgery with general anesthesia at Beijing Tiantan Hospital. 0.3mg/kg/h esketamine or saline will be infused during surgery . The incidence of sleep disturbance , sleep quality, pain scores, hospital anxiety and depression scores and perioperative adverse events after surgery will be investigated.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • The incidence of postoperative sleep disturbance(PSD) in patients undergoing spinal surgery

    It will be evaluated by Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS) on the morning(8-10 am) of postoperative days 1-3, a score of 6 or higher will be defined as PSD.

    during the first three days after surgery

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • objective sleep quality(total sleep time) of patients with spinal surgery assesssed by the sleep monitoring equipment.

    on the postoperative day 1 and postoperative day 3 after surgery

  • The pain scores

    within 72hours after surgery

  • dosage of analgesics

    within 72 hours after surgery

  • Postoperative hospital anxiety and depression scale ( HADS ) score.

    on the postoperative day 1 and postoperative day 3 after surgery

Other Outcomes (1)

  • The incidence of all drug-related adverse events

    within 72hours after surgery
