Background: Day care gynaecological surgeries mandate use of hemodynamically stable combination of commonly used intravenous agents, propofol & ketamine. Hence we proposed to evaluate the hemodynamic profile of different dose combination of propofol & ketamine as induction agents in ambulatory gynecological surgeries. Material & Methods: Thirty adult patients scheduled for day care gynecological surgeries were randomly divided into five Groups. Group I received inj. propofol 2mg/kg i.v + inj. Normal saline (NS); Group II received ketamine 2mg/kg i.v + inj. NS; Group III was given inj. Propofol 2mg/kg i.v followed by inj. Ketamine 1 mg/kg i.v.; Group IV received inj. Ketamine 2 mg/ kg i.v followed by inj. propofol 1 mg/kg i.v; Group V received combination of inj. Propofol 1 mg/kg i.v and inj. Ketamine 1 mg/ kg i.v. After administration of the drug, non invasive systolic, diastolic and mean arterial pressures, heart rate, respiratory rate, arterial oxygen saturation and ECG were recorded every minute for five minutes.
Results: Statistically significant hemodynamic alterations were observed in Group I & II, with Group I having the highest incidence of apnea (23.3%). No significant changes in hemodynamics were seen in Group V.
Conclusion: We conclude that the combination of 1mg Propofol and 1mg ketamine produced better hemodynamic stability in comparison to other Groups.
