Effects of S-ketamine added to patient-controlled analgesia on early postoperative pain and recovery in patients undergoing thoracoscopic lung surgery : A randomized double-blinded controlled trial

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether the addition of S-ketamine to patient-controlled hydromorphone analgesia decreases postoperative moderate-to-severe pain and improves the quality of recovery (QoR) in patients undergoing thoracoscopic lung surgery.

DESIGN: Single-center prospective randomized double-blinded controlled trial.

SETTING: Tertiary university hospital.

PATIENTS: 242 patients undergoing thoracoscopic lung surgery.

INTERVENTIONS: Patients were randomized to receive intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (IV-PCA) with hydromorphone alone or hydromorphone combined with S-ketamine (0.5 mg/kg/48 h, 1 mg/kg/48 h, or 2 mg/kg/48 h).

MEASUREMENTS: Primary outcome was proportion of patients with moderate-to-severe pain. (numerical rating scale [NRS] pain scores ≥4 when coughing) within 2 days after surgery. Postoperative QoR scores and other prespecified outcomes were also recorded.

MAIN RESULTS: Of 242 enrolled patients, 220 were included in the final analysis. The results demonstrated that the incidence of postoperative moderate-to-severe pain was significantly different between the hydromorphone group and combined S-ketamine group (absolute difference, 27.9%; 95% confidence interval [CI], 11.7% to 42.1%; P < 0.001). Patients who received S-ketamine had lower NRS pain scores at rest and when coughing on postoperative day 1 (POD1; median difference 1 and 1, P < 0.001) and postoperative day 2 (POD2; median difference 1 and 1, P < 0.001). The QoR-15 scores were higher in the combined S-ketamine group on POD1 (mean difference 6, P < 0.001) and POD2 (mean difference 6, P < 0.001) than in the hydromorphone group. A higher dose of S-ketamine was associated with deeper sedation. No differences were detected in the other safety outcomes.

CONCLUSIONS: Addition of S-ketamine to IV-PCA hydromorphone significantly reduced the incidence of postoperative moderate-to-severe pain and improved the QoR in patients undergoing thoracoscopic lung surgery.
