Registration Number
NCT06530706
Lead Sponsor
Zhejiang Cancer Hospital
Brief Summary

To evaluate whether esketamine can relieve anxiety in patients undergoing abdominal tumor surgery.

Detailed Description

Hamilton anxiety Scale was used to screen patients with anxiety. Only patients with score ≥ 8 were enrolled. These patients were randomly assigned to the experimental group and control group.

All patients enrolled were evaluated with Hamilton anxiety Scale, PHQ-8 scale, QoR-15 Scale and Athens Insomnia Scale. After induction, sevoflurane and remifentanil were used to maintain anesthesia. The experimental group had esketamine while the control group had normal saline. Athens Insomnia Scale was used to assess the sleep status 1, 2, 3 days after surgery and 1 month after surgery. Hamilton anxiety Scale was used to evaluate the anxiety state of the patients 3 days after surgery and 1 month after surgery. PHQ-8 scale, QoR-15 Scale were collected 3 days after surgery and 1 month after surgery.

GroupInterventionDescription
Experiment groupEsketamineEsketamine 0.2mg/kg was given slowly after intubation, and then 0.1mg/kg/h was pumped continuously until the end of the operation. Patients received sufentanil based patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) within 72 hours postoperatively, with sufentanil combined with esketamine 1mg/kg in a PCIA device.
Control groupnormal salineSame volume of normal saline was given slowly after intubation, and then pumped continuously until the end of the operation. Patients received sufentanil based patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) within 72 hours postoperatively, without esketamine in the PCIA device.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Whether esketamine can reduce anxiety status in patients with anxiety1 day before surgery, 3 days after surgery, 1 month after surgery

assessed by Hamilton anxiety scale. The score ranges from 0 to 56, while the higher score means a more anxious state.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
To explore whether esketamine can improve life quality1 day before surgery, 3 days after surgery, 1 month after surgery

assessed by QoR-15 (quality of recovery-15). The score ranges from 0 (bad quality) to 150 (good quality).

To explore whether esketamine can improve sleep status1 day before surgery, 1,2 and 3 days after surgery, 1 month after surgery

assessed by Athens Insomnia Scale. Athens Insomnia Scale ranges from o to 24, with a higher score means a worse sleep status.
