Anesthetics in Rhytidoplasty - A Comparison Study

April 6, 2015 updated by: Kristin A. Jones, Mercy Facial Plastic Surgery Center

The Use of Propofol/Ketamine Anesthesia With Bispectral Monitoring (PKA-BIS) Versus Inhalational Anesthetics in Rhytidoplasty - A Prospective, Double-blinded, Randomized Comparison Study

This study is a prospective, double-blind, randomized comparison study of different anesthesia methods in rhytidoplasty surgery. The study is designed to determine whether post-operative side-effect profiles in patients undergoing elective cosmetic facelift surgery can be decreased through the use of propofol/ketamine anesthesia with bispectral monitoring (PKA-BIS) rather than general anesthesia, without increasing intra-operative time, side-effect profiles, or patient recall. Approximately 30 subjects undergoing facelift surgery performed by the principal investigator will participate.

Detailed Description

PKA-BIS arm receives the following medications:

clonidine 0.1-0.2mg glycopyrrolate 0.2mg propofol infusion titrated to BIS of 60-75 ketamine 50mg + additional ketamine not to exceed 200mg aggregate dosage throughout the case local anesthetic (lidocaine/marcaine mix)

General Anesthesia arm receives the following medications:

Pre-operatively:

Pepcid 20mg Scopolamine 1.5mg transdermal patch Versed 2mg Zofran 8mg Reglan 10mg Glycopyrrolate - dose determined by anesthesiologist

During the case, medication choices and dosing were dependent on the anesthesiologist - all general anesthesia cases received inhalational anesthetic (type of anesthetic also varied based on anesthesiologist's choice)

Other: PKA-BIS (intravenous anesthesia)

Received the following medications:

clonidine 0.1-0.2mg glycopyrrolate 0.2mg propofol infusion titrated to BIS of 60-75 ketamine 50mg + additional ketamine not to exceed 200mg aggregate dosage throughout the case local anesthetic (lidocaine/marcaine mix)
