Propofol-ketamine combination supports better MAP maintenance during spinal sedation; extends RCT evidence for balanced regimens in ASA I-II patients.
Does a propofol-ketamine combination improve hemodynamic stability compared to propofol alone for sedation during spinal anesthesia in ASA I and II patients?
The combination of propofol and ketamine confers better hemodynamic stability than propofol alone during spinal anesthesia, without increasing emergence phenomena.
