Abstract:
Objective:To evaluate the effects of patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) with esketamine on postpartum depression (PPD) in puerpera undergoing cesarean section.Methods:A total of 300 American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients, aged 25-35 yr, with body mass index≤35 kg/m 2, scheduled for elective cesarean section under spinal anesthesia, were divided into 2 groups ( n=150 each) by a random number table method: control group (group C) and esketamine group (group E). PCIA was performed at the end of surgery.In group C, the PCIA solution contained sufentanil citrate 50 μg, butorphanol tartrate 12 mg and metoclopramide injection 20 mg in 200 ml of 0.9% normal saline.In group E, the PCIA solution contained esketamine 1 mg/kg, sufentanil citrate 50 μg, butorphanol tartrate 12 mg and metoclopramide injection 20 mg in 200 ml of 0.9% normal saline.The PCA pump was set to deliver a background infusion of 4 ml/h and a bolus dose of 4 ml at 30 min lockout interval.The analgesia lasted for 48 h after surgery, and the visual analog scale (VAS) score was maintained<4 points.Acetaminophen 0.5 g was administered orally as a rescue analgesic when VAS score≥4 points and pain was still unrelieved after PCA pump was pressed twice in a row.The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) was performed at 1 day before and at 3, 7 and 42 days after surgery.Depression was classified on EPDS as mild (score≥10) and severe (score≥13). The patients with preoperative depression were excluded from the study.The occurrence and degree of depression were recorded.The requirement for rescue analgesia within 0-6 h, 6-12 h, 12-24 h and 24-48 h after surgery and development of adverse effects within 3 days after surgery were recorded. Results:Compared with group C, the incidence of PPD was significantly decreased and degree was reduced at 3 and 7 days after surgery, incidence of rescue analgesia was decreased in different time periods ( P<0.05), and no significant change was found in the incidence of adverse effects in group E ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Esketamine can not only provide good postoperative analgesia but also improve PPD in puerpera when it is used for PCIA after cesarean section.
