Interleaved Propofol‐Ketamine Maintains <scp>DBS</scp> Physiology and Hemodynamic Stability: A Double‐Blind <scp>Randomized Controlled Trial</scp>

Abstract

Ketamine-induced conscious sedation provided high quality microelectrode recordings comparable with awake conditions. Additionally, it seems to allow superior patient satisfaction and hemodynamic stability, while maintaining similar post-operative outcomes. Therefore, it holds promise as a novel alternative anesthetic regimen for DBS. © 2024 The Authors.
