Why the study?
Hemodynamic instability during induction of anesthesia and intubation is a common clinical concern associated with negative outcomes.
Does the combination of ketamine and thiopental improve hemodynamic stability compared to ketamine alone in adult patients undergoing abdominal surgery?
Does the combination of ketamine and thiopental improve hemodynamic stability compared to ketamine alone in adult patients undergoing abdominal surgery?
The combination of ketamine and thiopental provides better hemodynamic stability during the induction of general anesthesia for abdominal surgery compared to ketamine alone.
Ketamine-thiopental was associated with greater induction stability than ketamine alone; hypothesis-generating and requires randomized confirmation before practice change.
Background: Hemodynamic instability of patients during induction of anesthesia and intubation, are very important clinical concern. Hemodynamic change after induction of general anesthesia is a common event and associated with negative result in clinical practice.
