S-ketamine plus dexmedetomidine vs. S-ketamine plus propofol for sedation–analgesia during positioning for spinal anesthesia in older adults undergoing lower extremity fracture surgery

In this retrospective cohort, dexmedetomidine-based sedation with S-ketamine was associated with improved comfort and cooperation during spinal positioning compared with propofol-based sedation, while adverse events were infrequent in both groups.
