Efficacy of Ketamine-Propofol for Short Surgical Procedures

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To determine the efficacy of ketamine-propofol anesthesia in a mixture 1:2 (1 mg of ketamine per 2 mg of propofol) for short minimally invasive surgical procedures. METHODS: The investigators performed a prospective study through randomization of 77 patients undergoing short surgical procedures in two study groups: one received a mixture of ketamine-propofol in a 1:1 ratio, and the other received a 1:2 mixture. Data were stored in an Excel spreadsheet and analyzed using the statistical program Epi-Info (TM) 3.5.3. The investigators performed the comparison of qualitative and quantitative variables. KEY WORDS: ketamine, propofol, anesthesia.
