Overview
Brief Summary
A multi-center, randomized controlled, blinded prospective study to investigate the effect of esketamine on perioperative anxiety and depression in patients undergoing cardiac valve surgery.
Detailed Description
Undergoing surgery can be a traumatic and painful experience for patients, often causing negative mood such as anxiety and depression. The size and type of surgery have a significant impact on the occurrence of anxiety and depression in patients, and approximately 1/3 of patients after cardiac surgery have anxiety or depression, which increase the risk of recurrent cardiovascular events and death. Ketamine is a type of anesthetic drug with comprehensive effects, including analgesia, sedation, and amnesia. Its primary mechanism of action is blocking N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors. Esketamine is the pure dextro isomer of ketamine, which has a higher affinity for glutamate NMDA receptors and opioid receptors, and has stronger sedative, analgesic, and antidepressant effects. On March 4,2019, esketamine has been licensed by the FDA for treatment-resistant depression. Given its analgesic, anesthetic and antidepressant effects, esketamine may be an ideal drug for improving negative mood in patients undergoing cardiac surgery

Arms & Interventions
Esketamine group

Intervention: Esketamine (Drug)
Control group
Patients who undergo general anesthesia without esketamine
Intervention: normal saline (Drug)
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Perioperative anxiety and depreession
Time Frame: Preoperative day 1, postoperative day 7 and day 30
The primary outcomes were depression and anxiety, which were assessed using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Perioperative anxiety was measured using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale-Anxiety (HADS-A) subscale, a standardized self-report instrument consisting of 7 items. Patients with a HADS-A score of 8 or more were considered to be experiencing anxiety, with a score of 8 to 10 indicating mild anxiety, 11 to 14 indicating moderate anxiety, and 15 to 21 indicating severe anxiety. Perioperative depression was measured using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale-Depression (HADS-D) subscale. Patients with a HADS-D score of 8 or more were considered to be experiencing depression, with a score of 8 to 10 indicating mild depression, 11 to 14 indicating moderate depression, and 15 to 21 indicating severe depression.
Secondary Outcomes
- Postoperative Sleep Quality(Preoperative day 1, postoperative day 7 and day 30)
- Delirium(Within 7 days after surgery)
- PONV(Within 2 days after extubation)
- Postoperative Recovery Quality(Postoperative day 7 and day 30)
- Postoperative Pain(Postoperative day 7 and day 30)
- Postoperative Quality of Life(Postoperative day 7 and day 30)
