Ketofol Versus Ketodex for POD Prophylaxis in Elderly Cancer Surgery
Neuroprotective Effects of Ketofol Versus Ketodex on Postoperative Delirium in Elderly Patients Undergoing Pelvi-abdominal Cancer Surgeries. A Randomized Double-blinded Comparative Study.
Postoperative delirium (POD) is a common and serious neurocognitive complication after surgery, particularly in elderly patients undergoing major cancer surgeries. It is associated with prolonged hospital stay, impaired quality of life, increased postoperative cognitive dysfunction, and higher mortality. The pathophysiology of POD is multifactorial and involves neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, impaired cerebral perfusion, and neurotransmitter imbalance.
Several anesthetic agents have been investigated for their potential neuroprotective effects against POD. Ketamine, through NMDA receptor antagonism, may reduce neuroinflammation and provide hemodynamic stability and opioid-sparing analgesia, although concerns remain regarding hallucinations and psychomimetic effects. Propofol, acting through GABA receptor activation, may protect against oxidative neuronal injury but may also induce hypotension in elderly patients. Dexmedetomidine, a selective α2-adrenergic agonist, has shown promising sedative, analgesic, and anti-inflammatory properties with potential protective effects against POD, although bradycardia and uncertainty regarding optimal dosing remain concerns.
Combinations such as ketofol (ketamine-propofol) and ketodex (ketamine-dexmedetomidine) may provide synergistic benefits by improving hemodynamic stability, analgesia, and sedation while minimizing adverse effects. Previous studies have demonstrated favorable perioperative outcomes with both combinations; however, direct comparisons regarding their role in preventing postoperative delirium in elderly patients undergoing pelvi-abdominal cancer surgeries remain limited. Therefore, this study aims to compare the efficacy and safety of ketofol versus ketodex as prophylactic strategies against POD in this high-risk population.

Patients will receive Ketofol (propofol- ketamine mixture in a ratio of 1:1).
This will be prepared by adding 200 mg propofol (20 ml) with 200 mg ketamine (4ml) in 50 ml infusion (concentration of 4mg/ml).
The infused ketofol dose will be 0.2 ml/kg/hr.
