About this study

Patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are at increased risk of developing sleep disturbances after surgery. Dexmedetomidine is a highly selective α2-adrenergic agonist with sedative, analgesic, and anxiolytic effects. Ketamine is a noncompetitive N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist. Esketamine is the S-enantiomer of racemic ketamine and twice as potent as racemic ketamine for analgesia. A recent trial showed that mini-dose esketamine-dexmedetomidine in combination with opioids improved analgesia and subjective sleep quality after scoliosis correction surgery. This trial is designed to test the hypothesis that mini-dose dexmedetomidine-esketamine supplemented analgesia may improve postoperative sleep quality in patients at high-risk of OSA.

You may qualify if…

  • 1. Aged ≥18 years but ≤80 years;
  • 2. Preoperative diagnosis of OSA, or judged to be at moderate-to-high risk of OSA according to the STOP-Bang Questionnaire;
  • 3. Scheduled to undergo thoracoscopic or laparoscopic surgery under general anesthesia, with an expected surgical duration of ≥1 hours, and required patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) after surgery.

You may not qualify if…

  • 1. Diagnosed as central sleep apnea syndrome;
  • 2. Previous history of schizophrenia, epilepsy, Parkinson disease, or myasthenia gravis.
  • 3. History of schizophrenia, or having antipsychotic drugs (including antidepressants or anxiolytics);
  • 4. Inability to communicate in the preoperative period because of coma, profound dementia, or deafness;
  • 5. History of drug or alcohol dependence, or sedative or hypnotic therapy within 1 month before surgery;
  • 6. Contraindications to ketamine (such as hyperthyroidism, pheochromocytoma, or glaucoma);
  • 7. Sick sinus syndrome, severe sinus bradycardia (\<50 beats per minute), or second-degree or above atrioventricular block without pacemaker;
  • 8. Contraindications to high-flow nasal cannula therapy (such as mediastinal emphysema, shock or hypotension, cerebrospinal fluid leakage, nasosinusitis, otitis media, or deviation of nasal septum);
