Abstract

Background: Sleep apnea is becoming a major concern for intensivists because these patients need postoperative admission to the intensive care unit (ICU), mechanical ventilation, and sedation. Dexmedetomidine is a α2-adrenoreceptor agonist. It has analgesic and sedative properties and related with limited respiratory depression. Propofol is a sedative-hypnotic agent with rapid onset and short duration of action. Ketamine binds to opioid and sigma receptors, leading to dissociative anesthesia, amnesia, and analgesia

Methods: We were included total 90 cases. All cases were divided in the three groups (Group A, B & C). Group A was (Ketofol group), Group B (Dexmedetomidine group) & Group C (Propofol group). Each group had 30 cases. This study was conducted in Department of Anesthesia.

Results: RAMSY sedation score was statistically significantly higher in group A than group B at sixth and twelfth h, it was statistically significantly higher in group A than group C in the 1st , 6th  and 18th  h, it was statistically significantly higher in group B than group C from the first to 24 h.

Conclusion: This study concluded that using Ketofol, Dexmedetomidine or Propofol for sedation of postoperative intubated and mechanically ventilated patients in the surgical ICU for 24 h was effective in maintaining Ramsay sedation score.
