ICU SEDATION GUIDELINES

Patients received either propofol 1mg/kg or dexmedetomidine 0.5 mcg/kg and then ketamine 1 mg/kg. The propofol and dexmedetomidine could be redosed at the anesthesiologists’ discretion during the procedure; patients were not intubated. There was no significant difference with respect to the duration of the procedure and recovery time. ................
