Total Intravenous Anesthesia with Ketofol versus Combination of Ketofol and Lidocaine for Short- Term Anesthesia in Pediatric Patients; Double Blind, Randomized Clinical Trial of Effects on Recovery

Background: Ketofol admixture has been proposed to be useful for sedation and general anesthesia. The beneficial effect of the combination of ketofol with lidocaine may be a shortened time of anesthesia and recovery period. This study aimed to establish the effect of total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) with ketofol and ketofol with lidocaine on recovery in children. Methods: Two hundred children from the ages of 1-12 years who underwent short surgical procedures were randomly allocated into two groups. Propofol mixtures (ketofol) were prepared for group l. A ratio of 1:4 of ketofol was used for induction and for the maintenance of anesthesia a ratio of was used 1:7. For the induction and maintenance of anesthesia ketofol with lidocaine (lidoketofol) was used in group II. The McFarlan infusion regimen was used with reduction. The extubating time, anesthesia duration and the length of stay in the post- anesthesia care unit (PACU) were recorded. Results: Extubation time showed to be considerably shorter in the lidoketofol group than in the ketofol group (120 s versus 240 s ; p < 0.00001). The anesthesia duration was also significantly shorter in the lidoketofol group (35 min vs. 50 min ; p < 0.00001). The lidoketofol group showed to have a lower length of stay in the post- anesthesia care unit (PACU) than the ketofol group (20 min vs. 35 min ; p < 0.00001). The lidoketofol group showed lower fentanyl consumption per kg (2.1 mu g per kg vs. 2.3 mu g per kg ; p < 0.056) and lower propofol consumption (6.6 mg per kg vs. 7.6 mg per kg ; p < 0.032). Conclusion: The recovery in pediatric anesthesia can improve with usage of TIVA with ketofol plus lidocaine admixture with a reduced McFarlan dose regimen.
