Abstract :

 Aims: To compare post operative nausea,emesis analgesia and recovery between propofol – ketamine versus propofol – 

fentanyl for out patient laparoscopy tubal ligation.Study: Prospective randomized blinded study.Methods : Measurable 
variables included total dose of Ketamine ,Fentanyl,Propofol and operating time.Vital signs pain ,visual analog scale scores 
(VAS), presence of emesis,treatment for nausea & vomiting,pruritis ,sedation & presence of dreaming were recorded on 
post anaesthetic care unit (PACU) admission, PACU discharge, Stepdown unit admission and Hospital discharge. Results 
are expressed as means +/– SD on Medians & analysed using t–test ,chi square test . Results : No difference were noted 
with repect to propofol dose ,operating time, pain or nausea VAS scores, Emesis ,treatment for nausea & vomiting pre & 
sedation on PACU admission, PACU discharge, stepdown unit admission and Hospital discharge. The Ketamine group had 
a higher heart rate ,required more pain medication and had a higher frequency of dreaming on PACU admission than the 
Fentanyl group. These differences became insignificant on PACU discharge. Conclusions: For out patient Laparoscopic 
tubal ligation Propofol –Ketamine does not improve post operative nausea, emesis,analgesia or recovery compared with 
the Propofol – Fentanyl combination
