Objective:
Our study aimed to investigate the effect of pre-operative sleep quality on post-operative pain and emergence agitation.
Materials And Methods:
Our study was performed 80 patients with American Society of Anesthesiologists I-II and 18-65 years of age. The patients were divided into poor (Group A, n = 40) and good sleep quality (Group B, n = 40). All patients were operated on under standard general anesthesia. The emergence agitation and pain status of all groups were evaluated in the recovery room and post-operative period.
Results:
There was no significant difference between the groups regarding demographic data. Post-operative numeric rating scale scores and analgesic consumption were significantly higher in Group A than in Group B (p < 0.05). There was no significant difference between the groups regarding post-operative emergence agitation and extubation quality (p > 0.05).
Conclusion:
In our study, poor pre-operative sleep quality increases post-operative pain and analgesic consumption; however, emergence agitation is not associated with sleep quality in the pre-operative period.

Melatonin congeners like ramelteon (Rozerem) and tasimelteon (Hetlioz) selectively bind to melatonin receptors (MT1 and MT2) and thus mimic the actions of melatonin, a hormone that regulates sleep-wake cycles. Tasimelteon is primarily used for non-24-hour sleep-wake disorder, common in blind patients. They are also used to treat conditions like insomnia...

Sedative-hypnotics are categorized into barbiturates, benzodiazepines (BZDs), and non-benzodiazepines or Z-drugs. These drugs work by suppressing central nervous system activity, and this suppression is dose-dependent. Older sedative medications, like barbiturates, follow a linear curve in...
