modafinil has been researched along with Postoperative Complications in 2 studies
Modafinil: A benzhydryl acetamide compound, central nervous system stimulant, and CYP3A4 inducing agent that is used in the treatment of NARCOLEPSY and SLEEP WAKE DISORDERS.
modafinil : A racemate comprising equimolar amounts of armodafinil and (S)-modafinil. A central nervous system stimulant, it is used for the treatment of sleeping disorders such as narcolepsy, obstructive sleep apnoea, and shift-work sleep disorder. The optical enantiomers of modafinil have similar pharmacological actions in animals.
2-[(diphenylmethyl)sulfinyl]acetamide : A sulfoxide that is dimethylsulfoxide in which two hydrogens attached to one of the methyl groups are replaced by phenyl groups, while one hydrogen attached to the other methyl group is replaced by a carbamoyl (aminocarbonyl) group.
Postoperative Complications: Pathologic processes that affect patients after a surgical procedure. They may or may not be related to the disease for which the surgery was done, and they may or may not be direct results of the surgery.

Postanesthesia quality recovery scale (PQRS). Component and aggregate scoring on the scale. Measures physiology, nociceptive, emotional activities of daily living cognitive and overall patient perspective. The scale is dimensionless and the aggregate of all individually tested dimensions is scaled from 17-65. A higher value implies improved postanesthesia recovery. Mean difference was assessed in each patient and aggregated thus patients with no difference between pre- and post-operative scores were zeroed (received a zero score if the difference was zero). A negative value was associated with worse outcome. (NCT02494102)
Timeframe: baseline and 6 hours after surgery
