| Abstract | Background: Some studies have reported the effects of anesthesia induction using a single propofol dose and low ketamine doses in short-term outpatient operations. Objectives: In this study, we aimed to evaluate the intra and post-operative hemodynamic effects of ketamine-propofol mixture (Ketofol) infusion in comparison with propofol infusion. Methods: This study was performed on 54 class I and II of the American Society of Anesthesia patients aged 15 to 45 years who were candidates for leg fracture surgery. The patients were randomly assigned to propofol and ketofol groups. In the propofol and ketofol groups, propofol infusion (100 µg/kg/min) and propofol-ketamine infusion (50 µg/kg/min propofol + 25 µg/kg/min ketamine) were used for the maintenance of anesthesia, respectively. Heart rate and systolic, diastolic and mean blood pressure before, immediately after the induction of anesthesia and at 10-minute intervals were measured and recorded. Pain, nausea, and vomiting were recorded immediately after surgery and each 2 hours until 6 hours. Results: Systolic, diastolic and mean blood pressure were significantly higher in the ketofol group than in the propofol group at 10 - 60 min intervals (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference, however, between the two groups in terms of the severity of nausea and pain and vomiting frequency. Conclusions: Infusion of hypnotic doses of ketofol leads to increase in diastolic and systolic blood pressure and improves blood pressure stability in addition to inducing more as compared with propofol infusion, but it leads to higher risk of nausea and vomiting. | en |
