The electrical currents (Limoge’s current) consisted of low- frequency trains of high-frequency current (high-frequency inter- mittent bursts of bidirectional balanced currents: 166 kHz, low frequency; 4 ms at 100 Hz; current intensity: 100 mA). In each high-frequency cycle, the current was positive for 2 µs and nega- tive for 4 µs (Figure 1).

Received May 10, 2018; Accepted December 7, 2018; Epub July 15, 2019; Published July 30, 2019 Abstract: Propofol combined with ketamine has been used for anesthesia in the past. Remifentanil presented a good analgesic effect, rapid onset, short half-life, and a high clearance rate. Propofol combined with remifentanil also shows good effects in the clinic. This study compared the effect and safety of propofol combined remifentanil and propofol combined ketamine in pediatric eye surgery. Pediatric patients that received eye surgery in our hospital were selected and randomly divided into two groups, the experimental group (n=30), in which patients received pro- pofol combined with remifentanil anesthesia and control group (n=30), and the group receiving propofol combined with ketamine anesthesia. The curative effect, FCO2, SPO2, MAP, HR, anesthesia complications, operation time, recovery time, and leaving PACU time were compared. The rate of good anesthesia was 93.33% in the experimental group, which was significantly higher than control (P < 0.05). FCO2 at 2 and 5 minutes after anesthesia, preopera- tive, intraoperative, and postoperative elevated, while SPO2, MAP, and HR decreased (P < 0.05). The experimen- tal group showed smaller fluctuation range than the control. The rate of Nausea (6.67%), vomiting (3.33%), and somnolence (10%) in the experimental group was significantly lower than control (P < 0.05).
