Interesting.
Propofol for Treatment-Resistant Depression
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30260415So I'm scheduled for my first-ever colonoscopy in a few weeks and I'm researching the various anaesthetics that might be used, wondering if ketamine could be one of those involved. It's unlikely that ketamine would be used; most likely a combo sedative with Propofol as one of the ingredients. Out of curosity, I Googled "Propofol for depression" and it came back with some surpring results.
Almost 6 years ago, I made a trip to the ER with a shattered wrist from a skateboarding accident. I had to have a reduction procedure that night to realign my wrist before the surgery I had the following morning. I recall them saying I was going to be put in conscious sedation and that I would be half-awake but be able to hear the doctors talking. I do remember feeling like I was floating above the scene hearing what they were talking about.
I've been trying & trying to get ahold of the medical records from that visit to learn what anaestheia was used that night.
I am hoping to hear that ketamine was used - that would help seal my choice to proceed with IV ketamine treatments.Rudy
