Follow-up visits were performed on the 1st, 3rd, and 7th postoperative days, respectively. The primary outcome of this study was the I-FEED (Intake, Feeling nauseated, Emesis, Physical Exam, and Duration of symptoms) score on the third postoperative day (POD3). Secondary outcomes included time to postoperative first flatus, first feces, and first food intake (semi-liquid diet), I-FEED scores, visual analog scores (VAS) during coughing and at rest, times of patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) effective presses, sufentanil dosage, number of remedial analgesia in the 24-hour postoperative period, and changes in inflammatory markers (TNF-α).</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Compared with Group C, Group Z had a lower I-FEED score on POD1 (P < 0.05) and shorter time to first flatus and first food intake (P < 0.05); there were significant differences between the two groups in VAS scores during coughing and at rest on POD1, VAS score during coughing on POD3, times of PCIA effective presses and sufentanil dosage in the 24-hour postoperative period, and patient satisfaction (P < 0.05).</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>For patients with sleep disorders, the use of zolpidem to improve sleep the night before surgery is beneficial in partially improving postoperative gastrointestinal function, relieving postoperative pain, and increasing patient satisfaction.</p><p><strong>Test registration: </strong>ChiCTR2300077566 November 13, 2023.</p>","PeriodicalId":9190,"journal":{"name":"BMC Anesthesiology","volume":"25 1","pages":"80"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-02-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11834607/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143448205","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
