Randomized Controlled Trial Retracted PublicationEffects of ultrasound-guided stellate-ganglion block on sleep and regional cerebral oxygen saturation in patients undergoing breast cancer surgery: a randomized, controlled, double-blinded trial.
Numerous factors could contribute to sleep disturbances in women with breast cancer. We hypothesized that stellate ganglion block (SGB) during surgery would preserve sleep after surgery and increase intraoperative regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2) on the blocked side in patients undergoing breast cancer surgery. A randomized, double-blinded, controlled trial was conducted at the First Hospital of China Medical University from January 2016 to September 2016. ⋯ No differences in rSO2 were observed on either the left or right side of the patients in either group 50 min after anaesthesia induction. We conclude that ropivacaine-SGB combined with general anaesthesia might increase the first postoperative sleep duration without influencing the intraoperative rSO2 in female patients undergoing elective breast cancer surgery.

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.
