Abstract :
The aim of study was to assess the effectiveness of sedation with Intravenous Propofol as an adjunct to the regional anaesthesia. We have included 50 patients of age group 5 to 50 years, of ASA grade I and II and posted for both elective as well as emergency surgeries.Patients were anaesthetized with suitable regional technique. After the adequate level of analgesia, the bolus dose of Propofol, 1mg/kg was given and sedation was maintained with intermittent doses of Propofol in dose of 0.2mg/kg. During the whole procedure, patient’s hemodynamic status was observed and vital parameters were recorded. Level of sedation was assessed and any undesirable side effects like involuntary movements, muscles twitching were observed. In the post operative period higher CNS functions were observed in the form of mental status, reflexes and co–ordination. All patients had satisfactory level of sedation throughout the procedure with stable hemodynamic condition.No undesirable side effects were observed intraoperatively as well as postoperatively. To conclude Propofol is an excellent agent and can be used safely and conveniently for the sedation as an adjunct to regional anaesthesia.
