@entity1 @entity1032 @entity10747 @entity390 @entity391 @entity6815 @entity158 @entity6948 @entity1363
OBJECTIVE: @entity1363 and @entity6948 , which are used for sedation during @entity10747 , were compared to evaluate the differences in efficacy, hemodynamics, and side effects. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Fifty @entity1 aged between 18 and 80 were randomly assigned to two groups according to American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification: Group M received @entity1363 with an initial bolus infusion of 0.04 mg/kg intravenously (i.v.), followed by additional doses of 0.5 mg i.v. @entity1363 , titrated to achieve a Ramsay sedation scale score of 3-4. Group D received @entity6948 with an initial bolus infusion of 1 mcg/kg/hr i.v. over 10 minutes, followed by a continuous infusion of 0.2-0.7 mcg/kg/hr, titrated to achieve an @entity6815 of 3-4. A @entity1032 ( @entity1032 ) was performed prior to sedation and in the recovery room once the Modified Aldrete Score (MAS) reached 9-10. @entity1 heart rates, arterial pressure and @entity158 were evaluated. RESULTS: @entity1 in Group D had lower heart rates at 20, 25, 30, 35 and 40 minutes following the initiation of sedation (p<0.05). There was no statistical difference in arterial pressure, @entity6815 , @entity1032 or respiratory rate between the two groups. Coughing, @entity390 and @entity391 occurred in 3 @entity1 in Group M (12%), whereas no @entity1 in Group D experienced these symptoms. The procedure elicited a gag response in 7 @entity1 in Group M (28%) and in 4 @entity1 in Group D (16%), with no significant difference between groups (p>0.05). When @entity1 and surgeon satisfaction was compared between the two groups, Group D showed higher surgeon satisfaction scores (p<0.05). CONCLUSION: The use of @entity6948 for conscious sedation during short, invasive procedures, such as @entity10747 , could be a superior alternative to the use of @entity1363 .
