    A low-dose ketamine and flunitrazepam combination provided satisfactory anesthesia for intra-abdominal surgery, enabling rapid, complication-free spontaneous respiration post-operation. This anesthetic approach was well-accepted by medical staff.

    Area of Science:

    • Anesthesiology
    • Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Intra-abdominal surgery requires effective anesthesia.
    • Neuroleptic analgesia (NLA) is a common anesthetic technique.
    • Evaluating alternative anesthetic combinations is crucial for patient outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare a low-dose ketamine-flunitrazepam combination with NLA for intra-abdominal surgery.
    • To assess anesthetic adequacy and patient stress response.
    • To evaluate postoperative respiratory function and staff acceptance.

    Main Methods:

    • Controlled randomized study comparing ketamine-flunitrazepam (n=21) with NLA (n=20).
    • Low-dose ketamine (0.92 mg/kg/hr induction, 0.5 mg/kg/hr maintenance) with flunitrazepam and N2O/O2 ventilation.
    • Electroencephalographic (EEG), electromyographic (EMG), and serum free fatty acid (FFA) monitoring.

  • Assessment of blood pressure, respiration, and CO2 levels.

    • Main Results:

    • The ketamine-flunitrazepam combination provided satisfactory anesthesia, confirmed by EEG/EMG.
    • Serum FFA levels indicated a well-balanced stress response.
    • Elevated blood pressure was managed effectively with volatile anesthetics (enflurane/isoflurane).
    • Remarkable immediate postoperative spontaneous respiration with normal CO2 levels was observed.

    Conclusions:

    • Low-dose ketamine and flunitrazepam offer a viable anesthetic option for intra-abdominal procedures.
    • This combination facilitates early recovery of spontaneous respiration.
    • The anesthetic method was well-received by anesthesia providers and nursing staff.
