Effect of Lithium Carbonate on Postoperative Sleep and Cognitive Function in Patients Undergoing Heart Valve Surgery With Cardiopulmonary Bypass
It has been proved that lithium carbonate can prolong slow wave sleep with few or no side-effects. The aim of the present study is to evaluate postoperative sleep quality of patients undergoing heart valve surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass taken 250mg lithium carbonate after surgery.
This study is a prospective, randomized, controlled (randomized, parallel group, concealed allocation), double-blinded trial. All patients undergoing heart valve surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass will be randomized 1:1 to the treatment intervention with lithium carbonate 250mg (Baoqing, Hunan, China) or calcium carbonate 500mg (Reneed, Beijing, China) after surgery. The objective of the trial is to evaluate the lithium carbonate 250mg on the postoperative night sleep quality. Duration of sleep was collected with polysomnography on second postoperative night. (from 20:00pm to 06:00. Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score was performed on the seventh postoperative day
