Low Dose Propofol as a Supplement to Ketamine-Based Anesthesia During Intraoperative Monitoring of Motor-Evoked Potentials

Abstract

If a train of pulses were used for transcranial stimulation, low-dose propofol can be effectivelyused as a supplement to ketamine-based anesthesia during intraoperative monitoring of myogenic MEPs. Addition of propofol significantly reduced the ketamine-induced psychedelic effects.
