A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF COMBINATION OF INTRAVENOUS (I/V) KETAMINE + PROPOFOL (KETOFOL) AND I/V PROPOFOL ALONE FOR ANAESTHESIA IN PEDIATRIC PATIENTS NDERGOING MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING (MRI)

Journal Title: PARIPEX-Indian Journal of Research - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 3

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Increasing need of reaching to accuracy of diagnosis has increased the number of investigations like MRI where some patients become uncooperative by various reasons. To carry out these investigations successfully general anesthesia is employed to make patient cooperative especially pediatric age group. OBJECTIVE: The objectives of the study are to compare the cardiovascular, respiratory parameters, recovery profile and incidence of adverse events in both ketofol (KP) and propofol (P) group. RESULTS: the results in both the groups were clinically and statistically significant. Ketofol maintains better hemodynamic stability and has better recovery profile. CONCLUSION: Ketofol results in greater hemodynamic stability with fewer side effects and is safe and hence can replace propofol as an induction agent for short duration procedures.
