The dose stated above are doses of Vitamin D3/Cholecalciferol which is formulated as spray dried powder stabilized with DL-alpha tocopherol (dry vitamin D3 100 SD/S)(DSM Nutritional Products Switzerland Ltd). The spray dried powder will be diluted in 10 mls of water and ingested orally by subjects under direct supervision in a clinic setting.

1. Anesthesia-sedation KETOFOL 1-1: Two milligrams per kilogram of ketamine plus two milligrams per kilogram of propofol in a solution 1:1 (one milligram of ketamine per one milligram of propofol) was given to those patients randomly asigned to this group, who were scheduled for any short surgical procedures previously defined in the inclusion criteria.

2. Anesthesia-sedation KETOFOL 1-2: One milligram per kilogram of ketamine plus two milligrams per kilogram of propofol in a solution 1:2 (one milligram of ketamine per two milligrams of propofol) was given to those patients randomly asigned to this group, who were scheduled for any short surgical procedure previously defined in the inclusion criteria.

Anesthesia; Reaction

After randomization to the study group, the patients were given:
Procedures < 10 minutes
Ketamine-Propofol Combination KETOFOL 1:1
Propofol: 0.2 cc/kg (10 mg/cc = 2 mg/kg)
Ketamine: cc/kg 0.04 (50 mg/cc = 2 mg/kg)
Simple 1% lidocaine: 0,1 cc/kg (10 mg/cc = 1 mg/kg)
Ketamine-Propofol Combination KETOFOL 1:2
Propofol: 0.2 cc/kg (10 mg/cc = 2 mg/kg)
Ketamine: 0.02 cc/kg (50 mg/cc = 1 mg/kg)
Simple 1% lidocaine: 0,1 cc/kg (10 mg/cc = 1 mg/kg)
Procedures > 10 minutes
In addition to the initial bolus, an infusion was started:
KETOFOL 1:1
20 cc of propofol (10 mg/cc = 200 mg in total) 4 cc of ketamine (50 mg/cc = 200 mg in total) 10cc lidocaine 1% simple (10 mg/cc = 100 mg in total) 66 cc 0.9% SSN
KETOFOL 1:2
20 cc of propofol (10 mg/cc = 200 mg in total) 2 cc of ketamine (50 mg/cc = 100 mg in total) 10cc lidocaine 1% simple (10 mg/cc = 100 mg in total) 68 cc 0.9% SSN

Sedation / analgesia was considered successful if the procedure was completed without the need for other anesthetic drugs are different from the protocol, and yes no adverse effects to oblige the completion of the procedure. Apnea was defined as cessation of breathing for at least 20 seconds. Hypotension was defined as 20% decrease in mean arterial pressure. Bradycardia was defined as a pulse of less than two standard deviations below normal values defined by the American Heart Association (AHA_ for its acronym in Ingles_). Hypoxia was defined by an oxygen saturation of less than 90%.
