Summary

The aim of this study is to observe the antidepressant effect of low-dose esketamine in obese patients with preoperative depression and seeking bariatric surgery. We speculate that intraoperative infusion and the addition of a small dose of esketamine to the postoperative analgesic pump can help reduce the proportion of patients with depression after surgery, and may further improve postoperative recovery, reduce the use of postoperative opioids, shorten postoperative hospital stay, and improve postoperative quality of life of patients.

Interventions

DRUG

Esketamine

For the subjects in the experimental group, esketamine 50mg/2ml was diluted with normal saline up to 50ml (with a concentration of esketamine at 1mg/ml), anesthesia induction begins with intravenous infusion of esketamine 0.25mg/kg (0.375ml/kg•h drug preparation solution), with a pumping duration of 40 minutes.After the operation, esketamine 0.25mg/kg and sufentanil 1.5ug/kg were added to the postoperative analgesic pump dilute to 100ml with normal saline, with a background dose of 2ml/h and a single booster dose of 2ml.

DRUG

Dexmedetomidine

For the control group subjects, dexmedetomidine at a dose of 0.2mg/2ml was diluted with normal saline up to 50ml(dexmedetomidine concentration of 4μg/ml), anesthesia induction begins with intravenous infusion of 0.5μg/kg (0.083ml/kg•h), with a pumping duration of 40 minutes. The postoperative analgesic pump was added after the operation dilute with normal saline at a dose of 0.5μg/kg of dexmedetomidine and 1.5 μg/kg of sufentanil 100ml, with a background dose of 2ml/h and a single booster dose of 2ml.
