Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Dexmedetomidine versus propofol: An effective combination with ketamine for adult procedural sedation: A randomized clinical trial.
Recently, drug combination protocols have been preferred over single drugs in procedural sedation and analgesia (PSA). This study aimed to compare the effectiveness and hemodynamic profile of ketamine-dexmedetomidine (ketodex) and ketofol as drug combinations with ketamine as a single medication for PSA in the emergency department (ED). ⋯ Ketodex, as well as ketofol, were effective and safe combinations with good recovery profiles and hemodynamic stability for adult PSA in ED.
