Ketamine Plus Midazolam versus Fentanyl Plus Midazolam for Sedation and Analgesia during Image-guided Procedures in Interventional Radiology: Randomized Clinical Trial.
Radiology·September 1, 2026·PMID 42708854
Why it mattersRadiologist-administered sedation commonly relies on opioid-benzodiazepine combinations, which carry respiratory risks and may provide suboptimal analgesia. This trial offers evidence that ketamine-based sedation can improve pain control and safety during interventional radiology procedures.
