Abstract
Introduction
The induction of anaesthesia is a critical phase that ensures a controlled and safe surgical experience. This study evaluates the comparative effects of Propofol-Fentanyl and Dexmedetomidine-Ketamine combinations on haemodynamic stability during laryngeal mask airway (LMA) insertion in adults undergoing elective surgeries.
Methodology
A randomized controlled trial was conducted at the Department of Anaesthesiology, Vinayaka Mission’s Medical College, Karaikal, over two years. ASA I and II patients aged 18-60 years with a BMI of 18.5-29.9 kg/m2 were recruited and randomized into two groups: Group A (Propofol-Fentanyl) and Group B (Dexmedetomidine-Ketamine). Haemodynamic parameters, ease of LMA insertion, and complications such as apnoea, coughing, swallowing reflexes, and laryngospasm were assessed.
Results
The study found no significant difference in demographic variables between the two groups. Heart rate and blood pressure remained stable throughout the procedure, with Group A exhibiting higher heart rates at 15 minutes and post-operatively. Oxygen saturation levels were comparable, and both groups demonstrated similar ease of LMA insertion and incidence of complications.
Conclusion
Both anaesthetic combinations are effective for LMA insertion, but Dexmedetomidine-Ketamine provides superior haemodynamic and respiratory stability, supporting its use in patients requiring tighter perioperative hemodynamic and respiratory control.
期刊介绍:
The objective of this new online journal is to serve as a multidisciplinary, peer-reviewed source of information related to the administrative, economic, operational, safety, and quality aspects of the ambulatory and in-patient operating room and interventional procedural processes. The journal will provide high-quality information and research findings on operational and system-based approaches to ensure safe, coordinated, and high-value periprocedural care. With the current focus on value in health care it is essential that there is a venue for researchers to publish articles on quality improvement process initiatives, process flow modeling, information management, efficient design, cost improvement, use of novel technologies, and management.
