Abstract
Background: The management of children with heart diseases has been a major challenge for cardiac anesthesiologist. The anesthetic technique to be used should be easy, safer and provide cardiac stability throughout the operation. So interventional cardiologist prefer deep sedation with the patient breathing spontaneously and painlessly in the room. Propofol, Ketamine along with other combinations drugs have been used worldwide by cardiac anesthesiologist to achieve these goals. We carried out this study to evaluate the combination drugs for pediatric cardiac procedures which are Ketamine – Dexmedetomidine (KD) and Ketamine – Propofol (KP). Methodology:This study was conducted in the Department of Cardiology. A total number of 80 cases were selected, 40 from each comparative groups of Ketamine – Dexmedetomidine (KD) and Ketamine – Propofol (KP). Patient data was categorized into age, sex, procedure done and recovery time, analgesic boluses required and hemodynamic parameters during the surgery. Results: Mean age in KD group was 5.24 ± 1.25 years and in KP group was 4.95 ± 1.86 years. There were total 24 males (60%) and 16 females (40%) in KD group and total 22 males (55%) and 18 females (45%) in KP group. Most common procedures done in both the groups was ASD for device closure done in 12 patients (30%) in KD group and 13 patients (32.5%) in KP group. There was signi?cant difference between the mean recovery time and number of ketamine boluses consumption in both the groups. (p<0.05) Heart rate was signi?cantly lower in KD group at 5, 10, 15 and 20 min post induction when compared to KP group. No statistically signi?cance was found in difference between the Mean Respiratory rate and MAP. Conclusion:Our study concludes that the use of KD combination is relatively safe, practical alternative, we did not ?nd any hemodynamic or respiratory effects during the cardiac procedures but there was some delayed recovery.
