Effect of Intravenous Ketamine Infusion for Hemodynamic Stability in Patients Undergoing Caesarean Delivery.
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Hypotension is the most frequent side effect of intrathecal anesthesia, with a found incidence of more than 80%. With a frequency of between 40% and 60% in patients undergoing surgery, Perioperative shivering is a serious consequence that frequently follows neuraxial anesthesia. This study aimed to determine the multiple advantages of intravenous minimal dose ketamine for intrathecal anesthesia in patients undergoing cesarean delivery

Detailed Description
126 female patients undergoing cesarean deliveries, ASA-(II and III) and 21-40 ys old selected from an attendee of outpatient clinics of the Anesthesia Department. Two groups of patients were random to group K (63 patients): Received 0.3 mg/kg of ketamine IV diluted to 10 ml followed by infusion 0.1 mg/kg/hr. as 20 ml solution, group C (Controlled) (63 patients): Received 10 ml of normal saline followed by infusion of 0.1 ml/kg/hr. as 20 ml solution.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Hemodynamics [Up to 24 hours after operation]
Primary outcomes: Hemodynamic parameters (MAP and HR). Secondary outcomes Incidence of intraoperative shivering. The postoperative pain was assessed by VAS score. Sedation score in between groups. Fetus evaluated by Apgar score. Postoperative side effects as nausea, vomiting, nystagmus, diplopia, and hallucinations.
