Sumario: | BACKGROUND: Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is a common postoperative disorder that is frequently observed after general anesthesia, which seriously threatens the quality of patients’ life. Existing studies have demonstrated that S-ketamine plays an important role in improving neuroinflammation. This trial aimed to explore the effects of S-ketamine on quality of recovery and cognitive function in patients following modified radical mastectomy (MRM). METHODS: Ninety patients aged 45 to 70 years with ASA grades of I or II, who underwent MRM, were selected. Patients were randomly assigned to the S-ketamine or control group. In the S-ketamine group, patients were induced with S-ketamine instead of sufentanil and maintained with S-ketamine and remifentanil. In the control group, patients were induced with sufentanil and maintained with remifentanil. The primary outcome was the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and Quality of Recovery-15 (QoR-15) score. Secondary outcomes including visual analog scale (VAS) score, cumulative propofol and opioids consumption, post anesthesia care unit (PACU) recovery time, occurrence of remedial analgesia, postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), other adverse events, as well as patient satisfaction. RESULTS: The global QoR-15 scores at postoperative day 1 (POD1) were significantly higher in the S-ketamine group than in the control group (124 [119.5–128.0] vs. 119 [114.0–123.5], P = 0.002), with a median difference of 5 points (95% confidence interval [CI] [-8 to -2]). Similarly, the global QoR-15 scores at postoperative day 2 (POD2) in the S-ketamine group were significantly higher than in the control group (140.0 [133.0–145.0] vs. 132.0 [126.5–141.5], P = 0.004). In addition, among the five subcomponents of the 15-item scale, S-ketamine group had a higher score in terms of physical comfort, pain, and emotional state both at POD1 and POD2. In terms of MMSE score, S-ketamine could promote the recovery of postoperative cognitive function at POD1, but not at POD2. Furthermore, the consumption of opioids, VAS score, and remedial analgesia in the S-ketamine group decreased significantly. CONCLUSIONS: Collectively, our findings support that general anesthesia with S-ketamine as a potential strategy showed high safety and could not only improve the quality of recovery mainly through improving pain, physical comfort, and emotional state but also promote the recovery of cognitive function on POD1 in patients undergoing MRM. TRIAL REGISTRATION: The study was registered in the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (registration No:ChiCTR2200057226, Date of registration: 04/03/2022). |
