Clinical Trial Summary

There are different methods of anesthesia for CTR surgery. Procedural sedation will allow rapid recovery and fewer complications than regional or general anesthesia (GA). Attempts have been made in the past to use additives with propofol to reduce its dose. Ketofol (ketamine/propofol combination) was used for procedural sedation and analgesia. Ketamine and propofol administered in combination have offered effective sedation for spinal anesthesia and for gynecologic, ophthalmologic, and cardiovascular procedures in all age groups. The opposing hemodynamic and respiratory effects of each drug may enhance the utility of this drug combination, increasing both safety and efficacy and allowing reduction in the dose of propofol required to achieve sedation. Propofol alone had a significantly greater number of apnea with desaturation (SpO2 < 90%) episodes. Further, it has been shown that during colonoscopies, propofol in combination with fentanyl provided similar patient satisfaction with shorter recovery times even at lower depths of sedation as compared to propofol. The addition of fentanyl to propofol has been shown to result in better operator feasibility with no difference in recovery time, cognitive impairment, or complications as compared to the use of propofol only for sedation.

Description:

Sample size: assuming that the sedation using modified Ramasy sedation score was 6±0.01 in ketofol group versus 5.38±0.87 in fenofol group so the sample will be 56 patients, 28 patients in each group using OPENEPI at power 80 and CI 95 A computer-generated randomization table divided patients into 2 equal groups. - Group (K) (n=28): patients will receive IV ketofol (0.5 mg/kg ketamine and 1 mg/kg propofol) as bolus injection over 5 minutes in the same syringe then infusion of 0.05 mg/kg/min propofol increased or decreased rate of infusion according to achieve sedation response by modified Ramasy sedation score of ≤ 4. - Group (F) (n=28): patients will receive IV fenofol (1 µg/kg fentanyl and 1 mg/kg propofol) as bolus injection over 5 minutes in the same syringe then infusion of 0.05 mg/kg/min propofol increased or decreased rate of infusion according to achieve sedation response by modified Ramasy sedation score of ≤ 4. The depth of sedation will be assessed by modified Ramsay sedation
