NCT04857450

Brief Summary

The aim of this study was to try to reduce the required dose of etomidate used in anesthesia for upper endoscopy and colonoscopy in critically ill cardiac patients who complain of severe anemia in cardiac intensive care units by using a low dose of ketamine, which helps to reduce the side effects of etomidate, the most important of which is its suppressive effect on the adrenal gland and the secretion of cortisol in such critical cases, while maintaining hemodynamic stability, and the patient's satisfaction.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Measurement of serum cortisl level

    Primary goal was to prove that if we combined etomidate with small dose of ketamine, the level of cortisol will be decreased to a lesser extent than in case we use etomidate alone. measurement will be done peoperative and 6 hours after the procedure

    From preoperative baseline to post operative after 6 hours

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Incidence of perioperative cardiopulmonary complications

    From preoperative till postoperative 6 hours

  • Level of pateint satisfaction

    From preoperative till full recovery after 6 hours

Study Arms (2)

Model Details: Sixty adult cardiac patients, older than 18 with ASA II or III physical status who underwent upper endoscopy together with colonoscopy for management of acute anemia in the cardiac intensive care units from November 2020 - October 2021. They were randomly divided into two groups. All patients received 0.05 mg/kg midazolam and 1µg/kg fentanyl slow IV as basal sedation and analgesia, then : Group (E): Received Etomidate 0.1 mg/kg IV over 20-30 seconds, followed by 0.05 mg/kg IV and repeated when needed, and Group (KE): Received Ketamine 0.5 mg/kg IV over 20-30 seconds followed by Etomidate 0.05 mg/kg IV over 20-30 seconds and repeated when needed.
