Abstract

This study aims to reduce pain during interventional radiology (IR) procedures, making the experience better for patients. Typically, doctors use medications like fentanyl and midazolam for sedation. This research will focus on patients undergoing biopsies and drainage procedures, often associated with significant discomfort. Patients will be randomly assigned to receive either fentanyl/midazolam or ketamine/midazolam combinations for sedation. A coordinator will collect information on pain levels and satisfaction, as well as monitor any extra medications needed and side effects. The investigators hope to find that ketamine helps decrease pain and improves satisfaction compared to fentanyl, without increasing complications.
