During fracture reduction in children, the investigators found less distress using ketamine+midazolam (K/M) sedation (P<0.0001) and less hypoxia (5% vs. 25%) compared to sedation with fentanyl+midazolam (F/M)(1). Others also found less hypoxia with K/M (4%) compared to propofol+fentanyl (P/F)

In recent years there has been particular interest in ketamine-propofol for sedation of patients who are candidates for short minimally invasive surgical procedures. In some centers in Canada and the U.S. is, in fact, the first choice of sedation in the ED. There are also publications of their
