Propofol enables faster recovery after pediatric cardiac catheterization; confirms its advantage over ketamine in this RCT.
Does intravenous propofol improve recovery time compared to ketamine in pediatric patients undergoing cardiac catheterization?
Propofol provides significantly shorter recovery times than ketamine for pediatric cardiac catheterization, though it is associated with more frequent transient hypotension on induction.
Lebovic et al. (1992) studied this question.
