Brief Summary

This prospective observational study aims to evaluate the relationship between anesthesia type and postoperative sleep quality in adult patients undergoing septoplasty. Patients will receive either total intravenous anesthesia or inhalational anesthesia as part of routine clinical care, without any intervention or modification to standard practice. Postoperative sleep quality will be assessed using the Richards-Campbell Sleep Questionnaire on postoperative days 7 and 15 through structured telephone interviews. Secondary outcomes include postoperative pain intensity, opioid consumption, and postoperative nausea and vomiting. The study seeks to provide real-world evidence on the association between anesthetic approach and posto

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Richards-Campbell Sleep Questionnaire (RCSQ) Total Score

  Postoperative sleep quality will be assessed using the Richards-Campbell Sleep Questionnaire. The total RCSQ score is calculated as the mean of five items scored on a 0-100 visual analog scale, with higher scores indicating better sleep quality.

  Postoperative day 7 and postoperative day 15

Study Arms (2)

Total Intravenous Anesthesia (TIVA)

Inhalational Anesthesia

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years+
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
• Sampling Method: Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

The study population consists of adult patients aged 18 years and older who undergo elective septoplasty at Elazig Fethi Sekin City Hospital. Eligible participants are classified as American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status I-III and receive either total intravenous anesthesia or inhalational anesthesia as part of routine clinical care. Patients are enrolled consecutively after providing written informed consent, and no intervention or modification to standard anesthetic or postoperative management is performed as part of the study.

You may qualify if:

• American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) Class I-III
• Patients aged 18 and over
• Those who provided written informed consent at the preoperative anesthesia clinic and allowed telephone follow-up on days 2/8.

You may not qualify if:

• ASA Class IV and V
• Patients under 18 years of age
• Treatment of severe sleep disorders: Those with severe OSA confirmed by polysomnography and using active CPAP therapy. • Significant cognitive impairment, delirium, active psychotic disorder that prevents reliable completion of scales. • Regular use of hypnotics/benzodiazepines, sedatives/antipsychotics, or chronic opioids (≥3 days/week in the last month), alcohol or substance abuse. • Perioperative complications: Major complications during surgery, unplanned need for intensive care, or reoperation within the first 24 hours. • Pregnancy or breastfeeding. • Severe systemic disease, unstable cardiopulmonary status.
