Abstract：The objective of accelerating postoperative recovery is to enhance the quality of recovery and improve patient satisfaction.The recovery quality scale is a patient-centered outcome that comprehensively assesses patients'postoperative health status and serves as a recommended indicator.Recent studies have shown that low-dose or sub-anesthetic dose of esketamine as an adjunct to general anesthesia can reduce pain intensity and opioid requirement,decrease postoperative hyperalgesia,and prevent postpartum depression.This article reviews the research progress of the effects of esketamine,when used as part of a multimodal analgesic regimen,on the quality of recovery of adult patients undergoing different types of surgery.
