Ketamine and Postoperative Depressive Symptom-PASSION
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Perioperative depression symptom (PDS) is one of the common mental comorbidity, and influences the clinical outcomes and prognosis. However, there is no rapid acting treatment to deal with it during the limited hospital stay. This study aims to determine whether ketamine could improve the depressive symptom of peirioperative patients. It will also examine the safety for administrating ketamine as an antidepressant intraoperatively. Meanwhile, it will show if ketamine could improve anxiety, postoperative pain or delirium. This trial also will bring great concerns on patients with perioperative mental health and explore the measures to improve their psycho-related prognosis.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Response rate [Postoperative 3 days]
≥50% reduction in MADRS scores from baseline value.The MADRS is a 10-item tool, with scores ranging from 0 to 60, and determining the severity of depression.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- The remission rate [Postoperative 3 days and discharge.]
The remission rate is defined as the absolute value of MADRS no more than 10.
- Anxiety symptom [Postoperative 3 days.]
The anxious symptom is defined as HADS score no less than 11.
- Postoperative delirium [Postoperative 1 day.]
Postoperative delirium will be assessed by the Confusion Assessment Method for the Intensive Care Unit Scale (CAM-ICU) at 2 hours and 1 day after surgery.
- Severe pain [Postoperative 3 days.]
The incidence of severe pain within first postoperative three days, which is defined as mean and peak numerical rating scale (NRS) are higher than 5.
- Postoperative 30-day quality of life reported by KPS [Postoperative 30 days]
The quality of life will be evaluated by Karnofsky performance status (KPS) at postoperative 30 days.
- Psychiatric outcomes and complications [Postoperative 3 days and discharge.]
Postoperative complications include psychiatric symptoms evaluated by Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS), manic symptoms assessed through the 11-item Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS), and dissociative symptoms measured by the Clinician Administered Dissociative States Scale (CADSS). Moreover, postoperative complications also include aphasia, epilepsy, hemorrhage.
