Why the study?
Sedation and anesthesia are required for pediatric cardiac catheterization, but the optimal anesthetic agent providing ideal conditions and hemodynamic stability needed comparison.
Does propofol and ketamine compared to sevoflurane provide better anesthetic conditions and hemodynamic stability in pediatric patients undergoing cardiac catheterization?
Population
100 pediatric patients undergoing cardiac catheterization
Comparison
Propofol and ketamine vs inhaled sevoflurane
Design
Randomized trial

May support sevoflurane for hemodynamic stability during pediatric cardiac catheterization; leaves open optimal agent choice in larger trials.
Does propofol and ketamine compared to sevoflurane provide better anesthetic conditions and hemodynamic stability in pediatric patients undergoing cardiac catheterization?
Both propofol/ketamine and sevoflurane provide stable anesthesia for pediatric cardiac catheterization, though sevoflurane offers faster recovery at the cost of increased emergence delirium.
