Brief Summary:
hypothesis: the combination of LA with remifentanil and ketofol \[monitored anesthesia care (MAC)\] for ambulatory breast augmentation may result in results in better QoR on day of surgery as compared with total i.v. anesthesia (TIVA) . The purpose of this study was to compare the QoR after MAC using remifentanil and ketofol with TIVA during ambulatory breast augmentation .
Detailed Description:
Breast augmentation surgery is commonly performed on an ambulatory basis under under general anesthesia (GA) with propofol and remifentanil or local anesthesia (LA). Although surgeons perform this operation comfortably under GA, Patients have anxiety and fear of complications due to GA. In addition, they expect a good postoperative quality of recovery (QOR) including ability to resume common activities (work and daily activities) without suffering from moderate to severe pain.
The LA is advantageous over GA in that airway instrumentation is not necessary, favorable recovery profile, decrease postoperative pain and vomiting, increase patient satisfaction and decrease the cost . However, patient anxiety or pain often leading to conversion of LA to GA, which suggests the concomitant use of i.v. sedatives and analgesics as a supplement to LA.
The combination of remifentanil and ketofol (propofol, ketamine) for sedation during regional anesthesia and LA has been shown to be a safe, effective technique, capable of maintains adequate analgesia with conscious sedation, haemodynamic stability, and achieves lower incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting with shorter recovery times.
