COMPARISON OF PROPOFOL-REMIFENTANYL AND PROPOFOL- DEXMEDETOMIDINE USE IN OUTPATIENT ENDOMETRIAL BIOPSIES AND/OR CURETTAGES

Using single anesthetic agent in endometrial biopsy sampling and/or probe curettage (EBS and/or PC) may lead to inadequate analgesia and sedation. To achieve the adequate analgesia and sedation the single anesthetic agent doses must be increased which causes unwanted side effects. For avoiding high doses of single anesthetic agent nowadays combination with sedative agents is mostly a choice for analgesia and sedation for EBS and/or PC. Aim: The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of propofol + remifentanil, and propofol + dexmedetomidine combinations on the total dose of propofol to be administered during EBS and/or PC and on the pain scores after the process.
