Summary

This prospective observational study aims to evaluate the association between routinely applied anesthesia techniques and postoperative sleep quality in adult patients undergoing septoplasty. Patients will receive either total intravenous anesthesia or inhalational anesthesia according to standard clinical practice, without any intervention by the investigators. Postoperative sleep quality will be assessed using the Richards-Campbell Sleep Questionnaire on postoperative days 7 and 15. Secondary outcomes include postoperative pain intensity, opioid consumption, and postoperative nausea and vomiting.

Detailed description

This study is designed as a prospective, observational cohort study conducted at a single tertiary care center. The study population will consist of adult patients undergoing elective septoplasty for nasal septum deviation. All patients will receive general anesthesia as part of routine clinical care, either using total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) or inhalational anesthesia, according to the anesthesiologist's standard practice. No randomization or study-related intervention will be performed. Eligible patients will be enrolled consecutively after providing written informed consent. Demographic data, clinical characteristics, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status, duration of surgery, anesthesia technique, perioperative opioid consumption, and postoperative complications will be recorded prospectively using hospital electronic medical records and standardized case report forms. Postoperative sleep quality will be evaluated using the Richards-Campbell Sleep Questionnaire (RCSQ), a validated patient-reported outcome measure. Follow-up assessments will be conducted via telephone interviews on postoperative days 7 and 15. Pain intensity will be assessed using the Numerical Pain Rating Scale, and postoperative nausea and vomiting will be evaluated using a standardized ordinal scale.
