摘要

Purpose

To investigate the effect of intraoperative low-dose esketamine administered at anesthesia induction on postoperative quality of recovery in total laparoscopic hysterectomy.

Patients and methods

One-hundred six female patients scheduled for elective total laparoscopic hysterectomy were randomly divided into saline group (group P) and esketamine group (group S). Group P received induction with normal saline, propofol, sufentanil, midazolam, and rocuronium, while group S received induction with low-dose esketamine (0.25 mg/kg), propofol, sufentanil, midazolam, and rocuronium. Both groups were maintained with intravenous infusions of propofol and remifentanil. The quality of recovery (QoR-40), Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), and Pittsburgh Sleep Index (PSQI) scores were assessed at 8, 24, 48, and 72 h, 7 days, and 30-day post-surgery. Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) scores were evaluated at 72 h, 7 days, and 30-day post-surgery. Intraoperative hemodynamics, remifentanil consumption, inflammatory reactions, and adverse reactions were also documented.

Results

Both groups had similar QoR-40 scores at each time point (P > 0.05). Patients in group S had less intraoperative remifentanil use (P < 0.001), less consumption of phenylephrine (P = 0.005), fewer episodes of hypotension (P < 0.001), and shorter extubation time and stay in postanesthesia care unit (PACU) (P < 0.001). The NRS scores after extubation (P = 0.007), 8 h (P = 0.027) and 48 h (P = 0.016) after surgery, and the postoperative NLR (P = 0.003) and postoperative 24-h PSQI score (P = 0.024) were significantly lower in group S. The mean blood pressure (MBP) was higher at 10 min after incubation (T3) (P < 0.001). The heart rate (HR) was faster at 3 min (T1) (P = 0.005), 10 min (T3) (P = 0.023), and 30 min (T4) (P = 0.014) after incubation and complete end of surgery (T5) (P = 0.010) in group S. Multiple linear regression analyses demonstrated that higher education was associated with better recovery (P < 0.05).

Conclusion

In patients undergoing total laparoscopic hysterectomy, one injection of low-dose esketamine at anesthesia induction did not affect QoR-40 scores. However, esketamine stabilized intraoperative hemodynamics, decreased intraoperative opioid requirements, and shortened postoperative extubation time and PACU stay. It also alleviated postoperative inflammatory response and pain without causing adverse effects.
