Anaesthesia Induction with Ketamine: Propofol Combination (Ketofol) in Caesarean Delivery

Propofol-ketamine combination: a choice with less complications and better hemodynamic stability compared to propofol? On a prospective study in a group of colonoscopy patients

“…They reported that 45 % of patients in propofol-fenatnyl group experienced respiratory depression while this rate was only 17.5 % in ketamine-midazolam group [20]. In an other study that analyzed effects of ketamine-propofol combination in healthy volunteers it has also been reported that this mixture does not cause any fall in bood O 2 [12]. We also observed significantly lower intraoperative blood pressure and heart rate in propofol group compared to propofol-ketamine receiving patients.…”

“…Most commonly used agents are propofol, ketamine and midazolam [9][10][11]. Using propofol-ketamine combination is a preferred method for achieving a better sedation with less side effects [12]. There are 10 mg/ml ketamine-10 mg/ml propofol containing ketamine-propofol solutions for practical use in many countries [13].…”
