Abstract

Introduction: Hemodynamic instability has been a problem to concern in elderly patients, especially during induction. Various methods have been recommended to prevent that including TCI propofol. This studies effects of Propofol-TCI combined with low dose ketamine in induction for elderly under general anesthesia. Patients and methods: Sixty patients aged 60 or more years old with ASA I or II were divided randomly into two groups to receive either Propofol-TCI (group I) or Propofol-TCI combined with ketamine (0,5mg/kg; administered 2 minutes before propofol; group II). Heart rate, blood pressure, bispectral index (BIS) and TOF were recorded every 1minute. Fentanyl (2µg/kg); atracurium (0,8mg/kg) were given after target concentration defined. Intubation was performed after TOF=0. Results: The number of patients having severe hypotension was significantly lower in group II (low dose ketamine combined Propofol –TCI) and total dose of ephedrine as well, with p < 0,05. The heart rate was more stable than the one in control group.
