What this trial studies

This study investigates the effects of combining dexmedetomidine and esketamine on postoperative sleep quality in women undergoing elective modified radical mastectomy. A total of 105 participants will be randomly assigned to three groups, receiving different combinations of dexmedetomidine and esketamine before and during surgery. The aim is to determine if the co-administration of these medications can enhance sleep quality compared to dexmedetomidine alone. The study will measure sleep quality outcomes post-surgery to evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are women scheduled for elective modified radical mastectomy with ASA physical status I or II.

Not a fit: Patients with severe respiratory disease, renal or hepatic insufficiency, or a history of preoperative psychiatric conditions may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly improve postoperative sleep quality for patients undergoing mastectomy.

How similar studies have performed: Previous studies have indicated that both dexmedetomidine and esketamine can improve sleep quality, suggesting potential success for this combined approach.
