Esketamine Regimen Lowers Early Postoperative Anxiety in Hysterectomy Patients

A randomized trial found that an esketamine-based regimen significantly reduced anxiety 24 hours after total laparoscopic hysterectomy, also improving recovery quality and reducing pain and insomnia on day one. While anxiety reduction was temporary, no significant differences in common adverse events were reported. This suggests a potential benefit for early postoperative patient well-being.
