Effects of Procedure Started in the Morning and Afternoon on Early Postoperative Sleep Function and Postoperative Recovery in Patients Under General Anesthesia

General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University62 enrolled

Overview

The present study was conducted in laparoscopic hysteromyoma patients, aiming to compare the effects of morning surgery with afternoon surgery on early postoperative sleep function and postoperative recovery under general anesthesia.

The circadian rhythm is an intrinsic timing mechanism generated by endogenous systems to adapt to the external environment, which is closely related to the human sleep-wake cycle. Patients after major surgery are prone to changes in sleep structure and sleep quality, called postoperative sleep disturbances (POSD), which are characterized by the total sleep time reduced, rapid eye movement sleep absent, slow wave sleep shortened, and shallow sleep phase increased, times of wakefulness increased, and highly fragmented sleep. Some studies have shown that POSD can aggravate postoperative pain and fatigue, increase postoperative delirium, cardiovascular adverse events, and even cause accidental death of patients. The investigators don't know whether the early postoperative sleep function and postoperative recovery quality of patients undergoing general anesthesia are affected by surgery in the morning or in the afternoon. The present study was conducted in laparoscopic hysteromyoma patients, aiming to compare the effects of morning surgery with afternoon surgery on early postoperative sleep function and postoperative recovery under general anesthesia.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

The incidence of postoperative sleep disturbances by Athens Insomnia Scale

1. Postoperative sleep disturbances were defined as the total score of Athens Insomnia Scale more than 6. 2. The incidence of postoperative sleep disturbances was defined as the percentage of the population with a score greater than 6

Time frame: 1 day after the operation

The sleep time by bispectral index(BIS) monitor from 21:00 to 06:00 on the first night after surgery

The sleep time: was defined as the total time of BIS values less than 80 during monitoring.

Time frame: 1 day after the operation

The sleep efficiency by bispectral index(BIS) monitor from 21:00 to 06:00 on the first night after surgery

The sleep efficiency: was defined as the ratio of a sleeping time over monitoring time.

Time frame: 1 day after the operation

The sleep quality by bispectral index(BIS) monitor from 21:00 to 06:00 on the first night after surgery

The sleep quality: was assessed by the area under curve of BIS (BIS-AUC). The BIS-AUC was calculate using the trapezoidal rule, which used trapezium to approximate the region under a curve and calculate its area (GraphPad Prism Version 5.01; San Diego, California). The smaller BIS-AUC was the better sleep quality.

Time frame: 1 day after the operation

Secondary Outcomes

Postoperative recovery Post-operative Quality Recovery Scale(PQRS)

Postoperative Quality Recovery Scale includes five parts: physiological functions (blood pressure, heart rate, temperature, ventilation rate, maintenance of oxygen saturation, airway maintenance, agitation, consciousness, response), Nociceptive (pain, nausea), emotional (depression, anxious), activities of daily living (ability to stand, walk, eat, dress), cognitive function (orientation, digits forward, digits backward, word list, word generation). According to the recovery situation: the physiological function is divided into three levels (3 points: acceptable, 2: abnormality, 1: extreme abnormality), nociceptive, emotional change according to the degree of Likert 5 scored (5: very satisfactory, 4: satisfactory, 3: general, 2: not satisfied, 1: very dissatisfied), and the activities of daily living are equally divided into three levels (3: easy, 2: difficulty, 1: it can't be done completely), when cognitive function score reaches the preoperative baseline level,it means recovery.
