About this study

Official title: Esketamine on Postoperative Sleep Disturbance of Patients Undergoing Spinal Surgery:A Randomized Controlled Trial

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.
Being tested
Esketamine, saline

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  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.

    Measured: during the first three days after surgery

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. objective sleep quality(total sleep time) of patients with spinal surgery assesssed by the sleep monitoring equipment.

    It will be evaluated by an sleep monitoring equipment which can record total sleep time in hour.

    Measured: on the postoperative day 1 and postoperative day 3 after surgery

  2. The pain scores

    Postoperative pain at rest and movement will be evaluated on the morning(8-10 am) of postoperative days 1-3 using NRS.0 indicating no pain, 10 indicating worst pain imaginable.

    Measured: within 72hours after surgery

  3. dosage of analgesics

    The analgesic consumption(PCIA) and supplemental analgesics within 72h will be recorded.

    Measured: within 72 hours after surgery

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

    Postoperative anxiety and depression scores will be measured by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, on the morning(8-10 am) of postoperative days (PODs) 1 and 3 , a score of 8 points or higher will be diagnosed as depression or anxiety.

    Measured: on the postoperative day 1 and postoperative day 3 after surgery
