Data on long-term treatment with Esketamine Nasal Spray (ESKNS) in real-world patients with treatment resistant depression (TRD) is scarce. The primary aim of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness and tolerability of ESK-NS treatment at 6 and 12-month follow-ups. This is part of an observational, retrospective, multicentric Italian study (REAL-ESK study). Subjects for the present study...

In 2019, intranasal esketamine gained approval as a promising therapy for those individuals grappling with treatment-resistant depression. Both clinical trials and real-world studies have underscored its efficacy in alleviating and remitting depressive symptoms, with sustained benefits observed for nearly 4.5 years. As the S-enantiomer of ketamine, esketamine's dosing guidelines and strict...

This study aimed to observe the effect of esketamine on postoperative pain and inflammatory factors in children undergoing tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy. Eighty children scheduled for tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy were randomly divided into two groups using a random number table: an esketamine group (S-ketamine group, N.=40) and a control group (control group, N.=40). The primary outcome...

The combination of remimazolam and esketamine effectively alleviates adverse hemodynamic effects, such as tachycardia and hypertension, during intubation. However, the dosage for achieving optimal intubation conditions when co-administered with remifentanil remains unestablished. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the effective doses of remimazolam and esketamine for endotracheal...

Pregnancy leads to vulnerabilities and susceptibilities to mental disorders. Miscarriage, as an adverse pregnancy outcome, and following curettage for treatment, add the risks of further psychiatric disorders, including depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc., and current approaches to prevention are unsatisfactory. Ketamine and its S-enantiomer esketamine can prevent postpartum depression, and...

We explored whether esketamine anesthesia during first-trimester surgical abortion can reduce intraoperative hemodynamic fluctuations and improve patients' respiratory function. A total of 197 patients who underwent a first-trimester surgical abortion were included in the analysis. Patients were randomly assigned to either the esketamine anesthesia group (group E, n=98) or sufentanil anesthesia...

This research aimed to quantify the impact of low dose of esketamine on BIS and validate the feasibility of closed-loop TCI system based on the new BIS baseline with low dose of esketamine. This study consisted of two phases. The first phase was to quantify the impact of a low dose of esketamine (0.2mg kg-1 bolus, 5μg kg-1 min-1 infusion for 30min) on BIS and establish a new BIS baseline for...

Psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES), or functional seizures (FS), are episodes that resemble epileptic seizures but may be psychological in origin. Unlike epileptic seizures, which are linked to abnormal electrical activity in the brain, functional seizures may be associated with psychological and/or physical distress, and do not show the same electrical patterns on an...

Analgesics and sedatives may affect the hemodynamics of patients with septic shock and produce adverse reactions. The purpose of this study is to compare the hemodynamic effects and prognosis of esketamine and remifentanil in combination with propofol in patients with septic shock receiving invasive mechanical ventilation. In this single-center, prospective, randomized, controlled pilot study,...

This study investigates the effects of subclinical doses of esketamine on serum NLRP3 levels and early cognitive dysfunction in elderly ischemic stroke patients after neurointerventional procedures under general anesthesia. A prospective cohort study included 120 elderly ischemic stroke patients undergoing general anesthesia from January 2022 to September 2023. The esketamine group received...
