Active Comparator: propofol (P)
patients will receive only propofol intravenous for sedation
|
Drug: propofol
effect of IV propofol alone for patients undergoing DISE surgery
Other Name: diprivan |
Active Comparator: propofol ketamine (pk)
patients will receive ketamine in addition to propofol intravenous for sedation
|
Drug: Ketamine + propofol
effect of adding ketamine to propofol for patients undergoing DISE surgery
Other Name: ketamine |
- Number of patients with successful completion of the procedure (with diagnosis of site and degree of obstruction) [ Time Frame: the duration of the procedure under sedation is usually about 20 minutes to complete the procedure ]Number of patients with successful completion of the procedure (with diagnosis of site and degree of obstruction)
- time until sufficient sedation to start endoscopy [ Time Frame: It is about 5-10 minutes from start of studied drug till patient is ready to start endoscopy ]time to start endoscopy is defined as the duration between start of the studied drugs until MOAA/S Modified observer assessment scale of alertness sedaion score 1 was obtained.
- The total propofol and ketamine dose(mg)/patient needed/patient was calculated [ Time Frame: the procedure ]The total propofol and ketamine(mg) /patient dose needed/patient was calculated
- any airway intervention and occurrence of laryngospasm after start of the DISE procedure until its completion with diagnosis of site and degree of obstruction [ Time Frame: the procedure ]Once the DISE began, the airway interventions were important as outcomes, because these interrupted the clinical study of the DISE. Furthermore, laryngospasm was defined by the requirement for positive pressure ventilation of >20 cmH2O or administration of succinylcholine or propofol or any .
- Adverse events (hypotension, bradycardia, arrhythmia, laryngospasm, cough, gag reflex, apnea or aspiration) were recorded during the procedure [ Time Frame: the procedure ]Bradycardia was diagnosed if heart rate dropped below 60beats/min and atropine 0.01mg/kg was given if HR decreased below 50beats/min. Hypotension was diagnosed if mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) decreased by more than 30% from baseline or below 60mmHg
- Time till Recovery [ Time Frame: an average of 5 minutes between stop of drugs until Modified observer's assessment of alertness sedation MOAA/S became 4 ]Time between stop of the study drugs until Modified observer's assessment of alertness sedation MOAA/S score of 4 was calculated and patient is shifted to recovery room( MOAA/S score btween 0-6 where 1 patient is ready for endoscopic airway evaluation and 1 patient is ready for discharge to recovery room ) Time till (MOAA/S) score 4 was calculated .
- patients and surgeon satisfaction [ Time Frame: about 30 minutes after complete recovery both patients' and surgeon satisfaction were recorded using a 7-point Likert-like verbal rating scales for patients and surgeon satisfaction where 7 is extremely satisfied and 1 is extremely dissatisfied ]Both patients' and surgeon satisfaction were recorded using a 7-point Likert-like verbal rating scales for patients and surgeon satisfaction where 7 is extremely satisfied and 1 is extremely dissatisfied
- Time to Aldrete's recovery scores became 10 (maximum) (patient is ready to discharge) was recored post procedure in the recovery room [ Time Frame: Average 15-30 minutes post procedure to have Aldrete's recovery scores 10 (maximum) (patient is ready to discharge) in the recovery room ]Time to Aldrete's recovery scores became 10 (maximum)(patient is ready to discharge) was recorded post procedure in the recovery room
