Brief Summary: This study aims to compare the effectiveness and safety of a dexmedetomidine-propofol combination and a ketamine-Propofol combination for sedation of CT guided bone biopsy.
Detailed Description: Assessment of boney lesions is an common activity in the care of cancer patients. CT guided Percutaneous needle biopsies have a low complication rate. usually, this procedure is done under sedation. Propofol is a non-barbiturate hypnotic and sedative. It facilitates gamma-aminobutyric acid mediated inhibitory neurotransmission. It's known to have anti-emetic, antipruritic, anticonvulsant and amnestic effects. Despite being effective and potent, Propofol's main disadvantages is its dose-dependent hypotension and respiratory depression .Ketamine is a phencyclidine derivative which acts as a N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist. It is a dissociative anesthetic and provides some analgesia. It maintains airway reflexes and spontaneous respiration. Combining Propofol and ketamine preserves the sedative and analgesic efficacy while reducing their adverse effects. Dexmedetomidine is a highly selective α2-agonist. It is eight times more specific compared with clonidine. It has a perioperative anxiolytic, sedative properties as well as some analgesic properties .Dexmedetomidine is usually used for mild to moderate sedation and Propofol could be added to deepen the level of sedation
