Effect of Esketamine on Conscious State in Patients With pDoC

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the effect of intraoperative infusion of subanesthetic dose of esketamine on conscious status in patients with prolonged disorders of consciousness under sevoflurane anesthesia.

Participants will be patients with prolonged disorders of consciousness undergoing surgery with general anesthesia at Beijing Tiantan Hospital. 0.3mg/kg esketamine or saline will be infused will be infused intravenously at a constant speed within 30 min after tracheal intubation/pneumatectomy fixation. Coma recovery scale-revised, Glasgow coma scale, Full Outline of UnResponsiveness scores, SedLine multi-channel electroencephalogram and perioperative adverse events after surgery will be investigated.

Treatment and study plan

Esketamine

Drug

Esketamine ( 50mg, dissolved in 50ml normal saline ) 0.3mg / kg will be infused intravenously at a constant speed within 30 min after tracheal intubation/pneumatectomy fixation.

normal saline

Drug

Same amount of normal saline will be infused intravenously at a constant speed within 30 min after tracheal intubation/pneumatectomy fixation.

Primary outcomes

  1. Coma recovery scale-revised(CRS-R)

    Time frame: 3±1 day after surgery

    The CRS-R ranges from 0 to 23, with a higher score indicating a better state of consciousness.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Coma recovery scale-revised(CRS-R)

    Time frame: 1,3,6 months after surgery

    The CRS-R ranges from 0 to 23,with a higher score indicating a better state of consciousness.

  2. Full Outline of UnResponsiveness(FOUR)

    Time frame: 3±1 day, 1,3,6 months after surgery

    The FOUR ranges from 0 to 16, with a higher score indicating a better state of consciousness.

  3. Glasgow coma scale(GCS)

    Time frame: 3±1 day, 1,3,6 months after surgery

    The GCS ranges from 3 to 15,with a higher score indicating a better state of consciousness.

  4. Original EEG

    Time frame: during surgery and 3±1 day after surgery

  5. Patient state index(PSI)

    Time frame: during surgery and 3±1 day after surgery

  6. Power spectral density

    Time frame: during surgery and 3±1 day after surgery

  7. Burst-suppression ratio

    Time frame: during surgery and 3±1 day after surgery

  8. Spectral edge frequency

    Time frame: during surgery and 3±1 day after surgery

  9. The incidence of perioperative adverse events

    Time frame: 3±1 day, 1,3,6 months after surgery
