Abstract :

Rising cost of medical treatment and the reimbursement of medical expenses by medical insurance provider companies’ emphasis on day care surgery are on rise. Previously day care surgeries were being performed under General Anaesthesia which is costlier than TIVA. GA require specific vaporizers for inhalational volatile <span lang="EN-IN" style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";

TIVA can be practised easily in less equipped hospitals and, convenient to use. The search for newer and more convenient as well as safer combinations of drugs in TIVA is being done to achieve the goals.    <o:p></o:p>          The main aim of study was to compare two combinations of drugs 1) Propofol and Ketamine and 2) Propofol and <span lang="EN-IN" style="font-size:12.0pt;

Group 1) PK group received Propofol and Ketamine, while group 2) PD group received Propofol and dexmedetomidine combination. In group I (PK) the induction was done with<span lang="EN-IN" style="font-size:12.0pt;

color:black;mso-fareast-language:EN-IN"> Propofol 1.0 mg/kg body wt. and Ketamine 1.0 mg/kg body wt and in group II (PD group) induction was done with Propofol 1.0 mg/kg body wt. plus Dexmedetomidine 1.0 mcg /kg body wt. Vital parameters were continuously monitored. All the patients of both groups were monitored and followed up in post operative period for any symptoms. <o:p></o:p> <span lang="EN-IN" style="font-size:12.0pt;

The recovery features are identical in post operative period. Both the combinations produce rapid, pleasant, smooth and swift recovery with minimal residual impairment of mental functions with stable hemodynamic status. <o:p></o:p>
