This interventional double-blind, randomized trial has included120 children of American Society of Anesthesiologist (ASA) physical status I or II aged between 1and 8 years of either sex, scheduled for outpatient minor surgery under general anesthesia.This study examined whether co-induction with ketamine-propofol enhance laryngeal mask airway (LMA) insertion conditions and preserve hemodynamic state in patients.
This study aims to compare two anesthesia protocols: propofol induction with or without a prior injection of ketamine, in term of LMA insertion conditions(favorable= satisfactory or unfavorable= unsatisfactory ) and hemodynamic effects (decrease of 20 % from baseline of blood pressure and heart rate). The conditions of LMA insertion have been assessed in each study group by an experimented anesthesiologist, who was unaware of the treatment group assignment. Conditions were considered satisfactory, if the 4 following criteria were acceptable: the jaw was relaxed, there was no coughing, swallowing and no limb movement, and then the LMA was inserted. When the investigators save at least one unacceptable of these criteria, conditions were considered to be unsatisfactory and thereafter anesthesia was deepened with supplemental dose of propofol 1mg.kg-¹ and 1 minute later a reinsertion was attempted. The total number of attempts at LMA insertion was recorded. Children trachea was intubated after 3 failed attempts of LMA insertion, and then patient was excluded.

LMA insertion conditions
satisfactory conditions of LMA insertion are defined as when 4 criteria were acceptable: jaw relaxation, no coughing or swallowing and no limb movement. unsatisfactory conditions of LMA insertion is defined as when there's at least one unacceptable of these criteria
Time frame: 2 minutes
hemodynamic effects
mean blood pressure (MAP) in mmHg . Heart Rate (HR) in beats per minute (time frame: from baseline to LMA insertion)
Time frame: from Baseline period until 10 minutes after LMA insertion
