Ketamine-Based Total Intravenous Anesthesia Versus Isoflurane Anesthesia in a Swine Model of Hemorrhagic Shock

Abstract

Although a TIVA regimen produced less pronounced hypotension in a swine model of UHS than did ISO, end-organ perfusion with TIVA appeared to be equivalent or inferior to ISO. In circumstances of limited resources, such as those experienced by forward Army surgical teams, a ketamine-based TIVA regimen may be an option for use in UHS.
