Is ketamine–propofol mixture (ketofol) an appropriate alternative induction agent for electroconvulsive therapy?
therefore their side-effects on these systems could be reduced by administering a combination of them at a lower dose.[9] In recent studies done on patients undergoing ECT, it showed that using sub-anesthetic ketamine and low-dose propofol could increase the seizure duration, provide hemodynamic stability and earlier recovery compared with the use of a full dose of propofol alone. In a study by...
متن کاملKetofol: A Combination of Ketamine and Propofol
Sedative and analgesic agents are frequently used for procedural sedation. Titration of anesthetic doses should be done cautiously and the patients should be continuously monitored. So far, an ideal intravenous anesthetic agent is none [1,2]. A combination of ketamine and propofol has several ideal anesthetic properties. Several clinical studies of the use of ketofol have been evaluated. To dat...
متن کاملKetamine Anesthesia for Electroconvulsive Therapy
Ketamine has long been used as an alternative anesthetic agent for ECT. Recently, there has been considerable excitement about its intrinsic antidepressant qualities when given at subanesthetic doses, intravenously or intranasally. We review the clinical use of ketamine as the anesthetic induction agent in ECT and discuss the evidence that it augments antidepressant response and reduces cogniti...

(being a private hospital) where often the most difficult patients are admitted. The situation with restricted patients is differ ent. The RMO has no authority to discharge the patient, although the Home Office could be accused of passing the buck. It is unfair that administrative officers and clerks, hundreds of miles away at the Home Office, should make this decision for some of the most diff...
متن کاملSkew-t distribution is an appropriate alternative for the weighted exponential distribution
In this manuscript first a brief introduction to the Skew-t and Weighted exponential distributions is considered and some of their important properties will be studied. Then we will show that the Skew-t distribution is prefered to the Weighted exponential distribution in fitting by using the real data. Finally we will prove our claim by using the simulation method.
