Summary

Severe acute pain after total knee arthroplasty surgery has multiple implications for hospitals and patients, monopolising resources and affecting the quality of life. S-ketamine inhibits N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor activation and attenuates central sensitization associated with hyperalgesia, opioid tolerance.Therefore, the primary aim of this trial was to investigate whether s-ketamine decreases pain and opioid consumption postoperatively in adult individuals undergoing total knee arthroplasty surgery.

Detailed description

Total knee arthroplasty surgery is considered a cost-effective therapy for end-stage knee osteoarthritis (KOA). With an ageing population and rising rates of obesity in the world, knee joint replacements are estimated to escalate. While joint replacement is a cost effective intervention,approximately 20% of people experience persist pain postoperatively. The surgical injury triggers a myriad of responses in the pain matrix, from sensitization of peripheral and central pain pathways to feelings of fear, anxiety and frustration. Opioids are effective for acute postoperative pain but have numerous adverse effects. In addition, postoperative opioid treatment may pose a risk of opioid addiction. Numerous publications state that adjuvant s-ketamine reduces pain and opioid consumption postoperatively . Whether intraoperative intravenous s-ketamine alleviates postoperative acute pain after total knee arthroplasty surgery still unclear . Therefore, a randomized, controlled, clinical study was designed to observed analgesic effect intraoperative intravenous a lower doses of s-ketamine(0.3mg/kg/h) with patients after total knee arthroplasty surgery .

Conditions

• Postoperative Pain, Acute
• Anaesthetic

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DRUG	sodium chloride (NaCl; 0.9%)	For patients in the control group,anaesthesia will be maintained with intravenous sodium chloride (NaCl; 0.9%) infusion.while anaesthesia will be maintained with propofol infusion(4-12mg/kg/h),analgesia will be maintained with remifentanil(0.15-0.3ug/kg/min).The sufentanil dose at induction and the rate of intraoperative remifentanil and propofol infusions were at the discretion of the anesthesiologist in charge of the patient.The assessment of the depth of anesthesia was based on clinical evaluation,placebo-controlled infusion will be stopped 15 minutes before the end of surgery.Propofol and remifentanil infusion will be stopped at the end of surgery.
