We report our experience with total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) with propofol and ketamine combined with continuous epidural analgesia in a 72-year-old-male patient with dilated cardiomyopathy scheduled for a total prostatectomy. After premedication with atropine 0.5 mg and pethidine 35 mg, anesthesia was induced with ketamine 50 mg, fentanyl 0.1 mg and using a step down method of propofol (6-->4-->2 mg.kg-1.hr-1). After hemodynamic parameters had been stabilized, the trachea was intubated. Then, 1.5% lidocaine 6 ml was injected through an epidural catheter, placed at the L 1-2 intervertebral space. Anesthesia was maintained with continuous infusion of propofol 1 mg.kg-1.hr-1 and ketamine 1 mg.kg-1.hr-1, and continuous epidural analgesia with 1.5% lidocaine 2 ml.hr-1. Hemodynamics remained stable throughout the operative procedure. No postoperative complications occurred. TIVA with propofol and ketamine in combination with epidural analgesia is useful for patients with dilated cardiomyopathy in order to maintain stable hemodynamics during anesthesia.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007649 Ketamine A cyclohexanone derivative used for induction of anesthesia. Its mechanism of action is not well understood, but ketamine can block NMDA receptors (RECEPTORS, N-METHYL-D-ASPARTATE) and may interact with sigma receptors. 2-(2-Chlorophenyl)-2-(methylamino)cyclohexanone,CI-581,Calipsol,Calypsol,Kalipsol,Ketalar,Ketamine Hydrochloride,Ketanest,Ketaset,CI 581,CI581

D011468 Prostatectomy Complete or partial surgical removal of the prostate. Three primary approaches are commonly employed: suprapubic - removal through an incision above the pubis and through the urinary bladder; retropubic - as for suprapubic but without entering the urinary bladder; and transurethral (TRANSURETHRAL RESECTION OF PROSTATE).

D015742 Propofol An intravenous anesthetic agent which has the advantage of a very rapid onset after infusion or bolus injection plus a very short recovery period of a couple of minutes. (From Smith and Reynard, Textbook of Pharmacology, 1992, 1st ed, p206). Propofol has been used as ANTICONVULSANTS and ANTIEMETICS.
