Summary
OBJECTIVE: To determine the efficacy of ketamine-propofol anesthesia in a mixture 1:2 (1 mg
of ketamine per 2 mg of propofol) for short minimally invasive surgical procedures.
METHODS: The investigators performed a prospective study through randomization of 77 patients
undergoing short surgical procedures in two study groups: one received a mixture of
ketamine-propofol in a 1:1 ratio, and the other received a 1:2 mixture. Data were stored in
an Excel spreadsheet and analyzed using the statistical program Epi-Info (TM) 3.5.3. The
investigators performed the comparison of qualitative and quantitative variables.
KEY WORDS: ketamine, propofol, anesthesia.
