Summary
Patients were randomly divided into Dexmedetomidine or Ketofol for sedation. In patients who received Dexmedetomidine, a 2ml ampule of 100 ug/ml was diluted in 18 ml of normal saline, making a total volume of 20 ml. Patients received dexmedetomidine as a bolus over 10 minutes in a dose of 1ug/kg followed by an infusion at the rate of 0.5ug/kg/hr and it was labeled as "infusion 1". In the Ketofol group, 2 ml ketamine (50mg/ml) and 10 ml of propofol 1% (10mg/ml) were diluted in 8ml of normal saline. This mixture was 20 ml each, making 5mg/ml of ketamine and propofol. Patients received 1mg/kg over 10 minutes followed by 50ug/kg/min of infusion, labeled as "infusion 2".
