Ketamine--HCl--diazepam anesthesia for laparoscopy.
Laparoscopy was performed on 150 patients under ketamine-HCl-diazepam anesthesia via intravenous drip infusion. No psychomotor disturbances were noted during the emergence phase. No complications occurred during the procedures, neither from the surgical nor from the anesthesiologic point of view. No alarming stimulation of the cardiovascular system was noted. The patients became responsive within a short time, but a state of strong sleepiness remained for several hours. Therefore, ketamine-HCl-diazepam anesthesia does not appear suitable for outpatient laparoscopies but is a valuable alternative to other methods of anesthesia for laparoscopy.
