Brief Summary: Emergence delirium is common in older patients after surgery and associated with worse perioperative outcomes including increased postoperative delirium Nasal administrations of both dexmedetomidine and esketamine are approved for medical purposes Combination of low-dose dexmedetomidine and esketamine has shown some synergic effects in analgesia and anxiolysis In a recent randomized trial combined nasal administration of dexmedetomidine and esketamine was more effective in reducing pre-dental anxiety in pediatric patients The investigators hypothesize that perioperative nasal administration of dexmedetomidine-esketamine combination can reduce the incidence of emergence delirium in older patients after surgery
Detailed Description: Delirium is a common brain dysfunction syndrome in older patients after major surgery Delirium that occurs after surgery includes emergence delirium and postoperative delirium Emergence delirium occurred in 175 to 370 of patients following general anesthesia The reported incidence of postoperative delirium ranged from 120 to 329 in older patients after noncardiac surgery It is well known that the occurrence of postoperative delirium is associated with adverse outcomes Recent studies found that emergence delirium is also associated with adverse perioperative outcomes including increased postoperative delirium more non-delirium complications longer hospital stay and higher healthcare costs

Dexmedetomidine is a highly selective alpha 2-adrenoceptor agonist with sedative anxiolytic and analgesic effects Prophylactic administration of dexmedetomidine preoperatively or intraoperatively has also been shown to reduce the incidence of postoperative delirium Dexmedetomidine via nasal administration is now widely used for pediatric preoperative sedation Nasal administration of dexmedetomidine is also used in adults In a retrospective study postoperative nasal administration of dexmedetomidine 100 μg to elderly orthopedic surgical patients improved analgesia and reduced symptoms of agitation A recent study of patients undergoing gynecologic laparoscopic surgery night-time dexmedetomidine 15 µgkg administration by nasal drops from preoperative day 1 to postoperative day 5 improved sleep quality and reduced the incidence of postoperative delirium

Esketamine is a N-methyl-D-aspartic acid receptor antagonist and has been used as an anesthetic and analgesic Low-dose intravenous infusion of ketamine is recommended for postoperative analgesia Esketamine is s-enantiomer of ketamine and twice as potent as ketamine in analgesic potency Nasal administration of esketamine is approved by FDA for intractable depression in adults A randomized trial showed that nasal application of esketamine was effective in relieving post-thoracic puncture pain in adult patients without significant adverse effects And postoperative pain is a common risk factor of emergence delirium and postoperative delirium

This randomized trial is designed to test the hypothesis that combined nasal administration of dexmedetomidine-esketamine combination may reduce the incidence of emergence delirium in older patients after surgery
