PURPOSE: Anesthesia has been shown to disrupt the circadian rhythm. Recovery of the circadian rhythm after general anesthesia might help alleviate symptoms of insomnia and postoperative delirium. We hypothesized that recovery of the circadian rhythm is faster after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with desflurane than with sevoflurane. This study compared the influence of sevoflurane versus desflurane anesthesia on the postoperative circadian rhythm of melatonin in adults undergoing TKA.

DESIGN: Single-center, prospective, randomized, controlled, open-label study.

METHODS: This study involved adult patients undergoing TKA at a university hospital in Japan from May 1, 2018 to December 31, 2019. The primary outcome of the study was the comparison of the effect of sevoflurane and desflurane on the circadian rhythm of salivary melatonin for 3 days postoperatively. The secondary outcomes were postoperative fatigue and sleep quality for 3 days postoperatively.

FINDINGS: Twenty-eight patients (American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status of I or II) were scheduled for TKA and randomized to receive sevoflurane (n = 14) or desflurane (n = 14) anesthesia. There was no significant difference in the melatonin concentration between the sevoflurane and desflurane groups. The salivary melatonin concentration after sevoflurane or desflurane anesthesia was significantly higher at 9:00 p.m. on a postoperative day (POD)0 and POD1 than on POD3 (P < .05). Patients in the desflurane group had significantly greater fatigue than those in the sevoflurane group at 7:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. on POD3 (P < .05). Patients in the sevoflurane group had a deeper sleep than those in the desflurane group on POD0 (P < .05). In the sevoflurane group, the sleep time during the night of POD2 was longer than that on POD0 (6.1 vs 4.2 hours, P < .05).

CONCLUSIONS: Under the current study conditions, desflurane was equivalent to sevoflurane in terms of the postoperative salivary melatonin concentration and sleep disturbance after TKA but not in terms of recovering the postoperative circadian rhythm.
