Effect of the Preoperative Application of Esketamine on Stress Indicators in Paediatric Patients Undergoing Bronchoalveolar Lavage Under General Anaesthesia.
British journal of hospital medicine (London, England : 2005) June 25, 2025 Jizheng Zhang, Jiaming Zheng, Xiaohua Sun et al.
Children who received esketamine before bronchoalveolar lavage under general anesthesia had significantly lower postoperative stress indicators than those who received no preoperative medication. In a matched analysis of 46 children per group, all measured stress responses were reduced. The findings suggest that preoperative esketamine can ease stress and improve recovery in pediatric patients undergoing this procedure.
