Anesthetics in Rhytidoplasty - A Comparison Study

• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 2014-06-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: Female

Summary

This study is a prospective, double-blind, randomized comparison study of different anesthesia methods in rhytidoplasty surgery. The study is designed to determine whether post-operative side-effect profiles in patients undergoing elective cosmetic facelift surgery can be decreased through the use of propofol/ketamine anesthesia with bispectral monitoring (PKA-BIS) rather than general anesthesia, without increasing intra-operative time, side-effect profiles, or patient recall. Approximately 30 subjects undergoing facelift surgery performed by the principal investigator will participate.
