IVRA can be performed with many local anesthetics and adjuvant agents. Investigators planned to compare cardiac effects and ECG changes by IVRA with lidocaine and lidocaine plus ketamine.
Methods: Patients between 18-60 years, with score of ASA 1-2 and who were undergoing IVRA for short operations on arm and forearm were included. Systolic, diastolic and mean blood pressures, heart rate, SpO2, ECG, adverse effects during the operation were recorded. Double cuffed tourniquet were placed on the extremity to be operated to hinder nerve injuries. Venous blood in the extremity was purged with Esmarch bandage. Proximal cuff was inflated with a pressure 50-100 mmHg higher than systolic blood pressure and the bandage was displaced. Randomly patients were divided into 2 groups. Group 1: %0.5 Lidocaine+Ketamine 0.8 mg/kg; 40 ml. Group 2: %0.5 Lidocaine 40 ml. Anesthetic agent was injected with a rate of 20 ml/min. 20 minutes after injection the distal cuff was inflated and the proximal cuff deflated with a rate of 50 mmHg in every 3 minutes. 0,5,10,15,30,45,60 minutes after the beginning of deflation and 10 minutes after the deflation was completed ECG were recorded. PR,QT,QTc, RR were recorded.

QT and QTc intervals
0,5,10,15,30,45,60 minutes after the beginning of deflation and 10 minutes after the deflation was completed ECG were recorded. PR,QT,QTc, RR were recorded.
Time frame: Change QT and QTc intervals from baseline to 60 minutes
mean arteryel pressure
0,5,10,15,30,45,60 minutes after the beginning of deflation and 10 minutes after the deflation was completed
Time frame: Change of mean arteryel pressure from baseline to 60 minutes
