Comparison of the combination of dexmedetomidine and ketamine to propofol or propofol/sevoflurane for drug‐induced sleep endoscopy in children

ConclusionsThese results suggest that the described dose regimen of propofol used alone or in combination with sevoflurane appears to be associated with more oxygen desaturations and a lower rate of successful completion than a combination of dexmedetomidine and ketamine during DISE in children with OSA.
