Intravenous Sedation and Analgesia Using Propofol, Fentanyl and Ketamine (PFK) Versus General Anesthesia in Minor Urological Procedures.
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating General anesthetia Fentanyl and Propofol and PFK for Anesthesia and Urologic Diseases. Completed, enrolled 200 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Anesthesia in urological surgeries might constitute a great challenge to anesthesiologists. Especially that a great proportion of these patients are elderly with a lot of comorbidities. This put these patients at the risk of developing medical adverse events after being anesthetized by general anesthesia. The aim of this study is to compare between intravenous sedation with analgesia versus general anesthesia in patients undergoing urological surgical procedures.

Timeline
Interventions
Patients were anesthetized using Fentanyl (2 mcg per kg) and Propofol (1-2 mg per kg). Proper classic laryngeal mask airway was inserted afterwards.
A mixture of 5 mcg/ml of Fentanyl, 5 mg/ml of Propofol, and 5 mg/ml of Ketamine was used. Each patient received an initial dose of 0.5 mg/kg from the solution, then after waiting for 60 seconds, another 0.5 mg/kg were given. Maintenance was given as boluses of 0.2- 0.33 mg/kg every three to five minutes. No Laryngeal mask airway nor endotracheal tube were inserted, and the patients were breathing spontaneously through a simple face mask on a support of 3 L/min O2.
