Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To explore the efficacy of a single low dose of esketamine during surgical abortion in patients with sleep disturbance

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Sleep disturbance occur in the form of sleep deprivation, circadian rhythm disturbance, and structural abnormalities. Women who requires surgical abortion due to fetal anomaly or unwanted pregnancy often experience sleep disturbance. Severe sleep disturbance is a strong indicator for postoperative sleep disorders, which can lead to postoperative delirium and cognitive dysfunction, aggravate postoperative pain, and delay postoperative recovery.

Esketamine is an N-methyl-D-aspartate(NMDA) receptor antagonist with analgesic and sedative effects, and is widely used in clinical treatment of refractory depression. For patients undergoing surgical abortion, in addition to sedation and analgesia, whether the intraoperative use of esketamine has positive effects on sleep disturbance is worth exploring.
