[Diprivan (propofol) in anesthesia for endoscopic surgery of the tracheobronchial tree]

The hemodynamic parameters (BP, HR, YO) were studied in 50 patients aged 9 to 77, ASA I-IV, subjected to endoscopic surgery on the tracheobronchial tree. Use of ketamine in these patients in schemes of anesthesia before induction with diprivan had a favorable effect on the hemodynamic stability and did not influence the recovery. Moreover, schemes including ketamine are advisable when prolonged artificial circulation is needed by surgical indications (dilatation or stenosis).
