Safety and efficacy of a propofol and ketamine based procedural sedation protocol in children with cerebral palsy undergoing botulinum toxin A injections. [PDF]
Background Pediatric patients with cerebral palsy (CP) often undergo intramuscular botulinum toxin (BoNT‐A) injections. These injections can be painful and may require procedural sedation.

Deep sedation for colonoscopy is unnecessary and wasteful [PDF]
KEY POINTS Deep sedation for routine colonoscopy is of marginal benefit, costs more and may negatively affect safety and quality compared with mild-to-moderate sedation with traditional sedatives.

Deep sedation in GreenLight laser prostatectomy
Evaluation of ketamine and propofol combination for the performance of photoselective vaporization of prostate (PVP).Twenty-six patients undergoing PVP for benign prostatic hyperplasia were included in the study. Co-morbidities were present in 24 patients. Midazolam 2 mg intravenous was administered for the induction to anesthesia.

Deep Sedation or General Anesthesia for ERCP? [PDF]
Ideal sedation for endoscopic procedures should maximize patient comfort and safety. However, during many endoscopic procedures performed under conscious (i.e., moderate) sedation, patient comfort is compromised to some extent in the interest of safety. Although conscious sedation was the mainstay for most endoscopic procedures over the initial decades

Pharmacodynamic Considerations for Moderate and Deep Sedation [PDF]
Moderate and deep sedation can be provided using various classes of drugs, each having unique mechanisms of action. While drugs within a given classification share similar mechanisms and effects, certain classes demonstrate superior efficacy but added concern regarding safety.

Deep sedation for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopacreatography
Sedation and analgesia comprise an important element of unpleasant and often prolonged endoscopic retrograde cholangiopacreatography (ERCP), contributing, however, to better patient tolerance and compliance and to the reduction of injuries during the procedure due to inappropriate co-operation.
