Ketofol for Procedural Sedation and Analgesia in the Pediatric Population

Abstract: The combination of ketamine and propofol, commonly referred to as ketofol, is sometimes used for procedural sedation and analgesia in the pediatric emergency department. This article reviews the pharmacology, dosing, and indications, as well as adverse effects and contraindications of ketamine, propofol, and ketofol.

“…Due to the potential for apnea with propofol, propofol-related respiratory depression occurs frequently reported adverse effects. Ketamine has the unique characteristics of maintaining stable oxygen saturation owing to its ability to exert direct smooth muscle relaxation, bronchodilation effect, and preserve the laryngeal reflex ( Cortinez and Anderson, 2018 ; Iqbal et al, 2022 ). However, it should be noted that ketamine-induced sedation can also result in the adverse airway and respiratory events, with an incidence of 1.4%–6.6% ( Green et al, 2009 ).…”

“…[ 34 ] The peak effect is usually achieved within 40 to 60 seconds after administration, with a duration of only 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the dosage and serum concentration of the drug. [ 35 ] It inhibits sympathetic nerve activity and baroreceptor reflexes, leading to hemodynamic damage, which can lead to hypotension and bradycardia; It also increases the production of nitric oxide, leading to vasodilation. [ 36 ] Propofol does not produce analgesic effects, therefore opioid or other drugs are needed to control pain.…”
