Brief Summary

Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery(VATS) is among the most common and disabling persistent pain and inflammation conditions, with increasing prevalence in the developed world, and affects women to a greater degree than men. And sleep disruption also remains a challenging problem in surgical settings. Postoperative sleep disturbances (POSD) are defined as changes in the sleep structure and quality of patients during the early stages after surgery, which are manifested as significantly shortened rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, prolonged awake time, and sleep fragmentation. Long-term POSD may increase the risk of postoperative delirium or cognitive dysfunction and delay recovery, thereby worsening the patient's physical condition. The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of sex differences on postoperative pain, inflammation and sleep quality among patients who have undergone video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery under general anesthesia.

Use MMSE Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) was also evaluated at Sleep preop 1, Sleep POD 1 and Sleep POD 3.18 Each correct answer is 1 point, and error or unknown is 0 point. The unsuitable one is 9 points, and refusing to answer or incomprehension is 8 points. In the total score, 8 points and 9 points are calculated by 0 points. The highest score is 30 points. The division of dementia or not is related to the degree of education. The dementia is affirmed by the patient who is illiterate and less than 17 points, the primary school is less than 20 points, and more than middle school is less than 24 points. The scores which from 27 to 30 is normal, 21 to 26 of mild, 10 to 20 of moderate, and from 0 to 9 is severe.
