Abstract Although propofol sedation is the most popular current technique for (ERCP) procedures yet propofol narrow therapeutic window allows its level of conscious sedation to easily go deeper from moderately deep sedation to near general anesthesia. Such hazard directed our attention to study the propofol sparing effects by the addition of adjuvants (magnesium Sulfate versus dexmedetomidine) guided by BIS monitoring during ERCP procedures. In this study, sixty patients undergoing ERCP procedures under propofol sedation were randomly allocated into two groups, thirty patients each, magnesium (M) and dexmedetomidine (D). group (M) received40 mg/kg of magnesium sulphate bolus followed by IV infusion of 10mg/kg/h while group (D) received dexmedetomidine bolus (1og/kg) followed by infusion of 0.5og/kg/h |
