ABSTRACT
Background: The aims of present study are to compare the adequacy of sedation, hemodynamic and respiratory stability, time to achieve "street fitness" status by Dexmedetomidine with Fentanyl v/s Ketamine with Fentanyl in Dilatation and Curettage. Material And Method: This prospective randomized controlled study was conducted in department of anaesthesiology, Pacific Medical College and hospital. In this study 60 healthy patients of age between 18-65 years and ASA Grade I & II scheduled for Dilatation and Curettage were taken. After taking valid consent they were divided into two groups, each group comprising of 30 patients Group D+F- In this group randomly selected 30 patients were given injection Dexmedetomidine along with inj. Fentany. Group K+F- In this group randomly selected 30 patients were given injection ketamine, along with inj. Fentanyl. The scales used during the study were Aldrete’s score for post-operative recovery and Ramsay’s score for sedation. Results and Conclusion: Our study concluded that Dexmedetomidine in 1 mcg/kg with Fentanyl 1 mcg/kg has a superior hemodynamic stability in comparison to ketamine0.5mg/kg with Fentanyl 1 mcg/kg. Dexmedetomidine and Fentanyl combination is an effective modality to provide analgesia and anaesthesia for D & C procedure without significant side effects apart from bradycardia which was transient in duration and no patient required any pharmacological intervention. Dexmedetomidine is a new invention in daycare surgery with advantage of early discharge and reasonable cost.
Keywords: Conscious sedation, Dexmedetomidine, Fentanyl, Ketamine, Dilatation and Curettage.
