About
The aim of the present study is to compare between general anesthesia versus sedation with dexmedetomidine and ketamine with local infilteration at the catheter insertion site in pediatric patients undergoing transcutaneous closure of atrial septal defect on hemodynamic changes.
Full description
Atrial septal defect (ASD) is one of the most common types of congenital heart defects, occurring in about 25% of children General anaesthesia is usually obtained with tracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation or spontaneous breathing, the depth of anesthesia required to tolerate the presence of a tracheal tube will invariably lead to some reduction in myocardial contractility and alteration of respiratory mechanics. The goal of anesthetic technique is to provide sedation and analgesia during cardiac catheterization to ensure immobility and hemodynamic stability.
Ketamine is an N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDA) antagonist with sedative, analgesic, and sympathomimetic effects. Among its benefits ,it has the ability to protect airway reflexes with minimal effect on ventilatory drive.
Dexmedetomidine is a highly selective alpha-2 adrenoreceptor agonist with sedative, anxiolytic, and analgesic effect, it also blunts the sympathetic nervous system response to surgical stimulation.
