Effect of esketamine on postoperative quality of recovery in patients undergoing arthroscopic rotator cuff repair: protocol for a prospective, randomized, double-blind study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The utilization of shoulder arthroscopic surgery has progressively increased as a prevalent surgical approach for the treatment and repair of rotator cuff injury in clinical practice. However, early postoperative pain and neurological dysfunction remain significant factors that impact patients' postoperative recovery. Esketamine, an NMDA receptor antagonist, effectively reduces opioid consumption, attenuates postoperative inflammatory reactivity, and has also demonstrated neuroprotective effects. The aim of this study is to evaluate the quality of early recovery after anesthesia maintenance with esketamine in patients undergoing arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.

Methods

This is a single-center, randomized controlled trial. A total of 234 patients undergoing arthro
