Zusammenfassung

Adequate administration of safe, easy-to-obtain, and constantly available sedatives and analgesia, is needed for pain reduction throughout curettage procedures. The goal of this study was to examine differences in propofol requirements and emergence time between propofol-ketamine and propofol-fentanyl combinations in patients undergoing curettage. A single-blind randomized controlled trial study was performed on 60 patients who underwent curettage procedures. The patients were divided into two groups: propofol-ketamine (PK) and propofol-fentanyl (PF). Blood pressure, pulse rate, respiration rate, and oxygen saturation and BIS data were analysed using a t-test and Mann-Whitney test. This study showed that propofol requirements differ significantly (p<0.001) between the two groups where in PK group where 4/30 subjects received additional propofol, compared to PF group 14/30 subjects received additional propofol. The wake up time for PK group was 25.75±2.47 minutes compared to 21.08±2.52 minutes for the PF group. The difference was statistically significant (p<0.001). The conclusions of this study are propofol requirements for PK group is less compared to PF group and the emergence time for PK group is longer compared to PF group.
