Objective: Sedation for ERCP with propofol related adverse events (SRAES) includes hypotension, arrhythmia, oxygen desaturation, unplanned intubation and procedure termination. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of adding a small synergistic dose of ketamine to propofol (Ketofol) vs. propofol alone.
Methods: 80 adults (ASAI-II) scheduled for elective ERCP categorized into Ketofol (KP) (n=40) and Propofol (P) (n=40) groups. In Propofol (P) group, 1.5 mg/kg over 3-5 min then 50-75 mic/kg/min guided by BIS (≥60). In KP group: 1.5 ml/kg of (Propofol 1%+Ketamine (50 mg)+4 ml normal saline) over 3-5 min then 50-75 mic/kg/min. Nasal airway after sedation. Induction and recovery time, Propofol consumption, haemodynamics, pain assessment, nausea and vomiting were recorded post-operative.
