Randomized Controlled Trial Retracted PublicationChanges in the first postoperative night bispectral index of patients after thyroidectomy with different types of primary anesthetic management: a randomized controlled trial.
Despite major advances in anesthesia management and developments in anesthetic agents, postoperative sleep disturbances remain dissatisfactory for many patients. We hypothesized that propofol might have a subtle influence on sleep after thyroidectomy compared to sevoflurane. A randomized, single-blinded, controlled trial was conducted at the First Hospital of China Medical University from October 2014 to October 2015. ⋯ The BIS-area under the curve was decreased, the sleep efficiency index was significantly increased, and the durations of postoperative sleep and sleep stage N3 were increased by 110.5 and 36.5 min per patient, respectively, in the propofol compared to the sevoflurane group. Propofol might preserve sleep time immediately after thyroidectomy. Clinical Trials.gov identifier: NCT 02146976.
