Abstract

Background- The barbiturate class of sedatives and anesthetics has a prolonged half-life. Ambulatory admittance is used for minor procedures like endoscopies that are performed on outpatients. After the surgery is over, the patients can be released from the anesthetic's effects.

Objectives- The goal of this research was to compare TIVA in ambulatory anesthesia using propofol alone versus propofol plus ketamine.

Materials and methods- The study was designed as a prospective randomized study that took place at the Department of Anesthesia, Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Hospital, Delhi, India. The study has been conducted for six months. In all, sixty people were invited to participate in the study.

Results- The induction dosage in both the groups of participants were 2.01±0.13 and 1.58±0.4 respectively in the patient groups that received propofol and propofol plus ketamine. Time to recover from induction dose was found to be highly significant.

Conclusion- According to this study, propofol and ketamine together provide better hemodynamic stability when compared to propofol since it requires less induction and has fewer side effects. Additionally, the duration of pain alleviation following surgery was greater.
