Summary
Postpartum depression is common in mothers early after childbirth and produces harmful
effects not only on mothers, but also on infants and young children. Parturients with
prenatal depression are at increased risk of postpartum depression. Low-dose s-ketamine can
be used for antidepressant therapy. We hypothesize that low-dose s-ketamine has a therapeutic
effect on parturients with prenatal depression. This study is designed to investigate whether
low-dose s-ketamine administered after childbirth can reduce the incidence of postpartum
depression in parturients with prenatal depression.
