Postoperative Sleep Quality in Patients Undergoing Thoracic Surgery With Different Types of Anesthesia Management

July 7, 2015 updated by: Wen-fei Tan, China Medical University, China
We designed a study to determine whether a single dose of dexmedetomidine or thoracic epidural anesthesia combined with general anesthesia would provide hemodynamic stability, reduce stress hormone responses, inhibit inflammatory cytokine secretion, and improve sleep quality in patients after thoracic surgery.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

We designed a prospective, single-blinded, randomized, and controlled study to determine whether a single dose of dexmedetomidine or thoracic epidural anesthesia combined with general anesthesia would provide hemodynamic stability, reduce stress hormone responses, inhibit inflammatory cytokine secretion, and improve sleep quality in patients after thoracic surgery.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
inflammatory cytokine secretion and postoperative sleep quality
Time Frame: immediately before anesthesia (T1), 5 min after endotracheal intubation (T2), immediately after incision (T3), 5 min after OLV initiation (T4), 5 min after double-lung ventilation initiation (T5), and immediately after extubation (T6)
Primary outcomes were inflammatory cytokine secretion and postoperative sleep quality, which was measured with the BIS data on first and second postoperative nights.
immediately before anesthesia (T1), 5 min after endotracheal intubation (T2), immediately after incision (T3), 5 min after OLV initiation (T4), 5 min after double-lung ventilation initiation (T5), and immediately after extubation (T6)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
amine secretion during the surgical period and hemodynamic stability
Time Frame: immediately before anesthesia (T1), 5 min after endotracheal intubation (T2), immediately after incision (T3), 5 min after OLV initiation (T4), 5 min after double-lung ventilation initiation (T5), and immediately after extubation (T6)
amine (epinephrine and norepinephrine) secretion during the surgical period and hemodynamic stability
immediately before anesthesia (T1), 5 min after endotracheal intubation (T2), immediately after incision (T3), 5 min after OLV initiation (T4), 5 min after double-lung ventilation initiation (T5), and immediately after extubation (T6)
