    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Anesthesiology
    • Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Uterine evacuation procedures require effective anesthesia.
    • Oxytocic drugs are often used to manage uterine tone post-procedure.
    • Exploring alternative anesthetic agents is crucial for improving patient outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate Ketalar (Ketamine Hydrochloride) as a sole anesthetic agent for uterine evacuation.
    • To assess the safety and efficacy of Ketalar in this context.
    • To observe Ketalar's effect on uterine tone.

    Main Methods:

    • Ketalar (Ketamine Hydrochloride) was administered as the sole anesthetic.
    • Fifty cases of uterine evacuation were performed by a single operator.
    • Data on procedure ease, safety, uterine tone, and emergence phenomena were collected.

    Main Results:

    • Ketalar proved easy to use and safe for uterine evacuation.
    • A significant increase in uterine musculature tone was observed.
    • The need for oxytocic drugs was eliminated.
    • Low incidence of emergence phenomena was noted.

    Conclusions:

    • Ketalar is a safe and effective sole anesthetic for uterine evacuation.
    • Its uterotonic effect simplifies the procedure and reduces medication requirements.
    • High patient and staff satisfaction indicates its clinical utility.
