A 40-year-old man with no past medical history was riding his bicycle when he rode over a large pothole in the road, fell to the curb, and sustained a closed mid-shaft right femur fracture. He has no other trauma, is neurologically intact with normal distal perfusion. He will need a Steinmann traction pin placed in the ED and will be on call to the OR tomorrow. Your colleague suggests ketofol for sedation for the ED procedure. Which of the following is BEST supported by the current evidence?
- Ketofol has been shown to allow for faster recovery and faster disposition
- Ketofol has a lower incidence of adverse airway events
- Ketofol has the same efficiency profile as propofol
- Ketofol is associated with higher patient satisfaction scores
