Description of intervention(s) / exposure
A total of 100 boys (aged 1-8 years) schedule for circumcision were included in the study. Patients were randomly divided into two groups.
In the Group I (n=50), 0.01 mg/kg intravenous midazolam and 2 mg/kg intravenous ketamine were administered only at induction of anaesthesia. In the Group II (n=50), 1 microg/kg intravenous fentanyl, 1 mg/kg intravenous lidocaine, and 2-3 mg/kg intravenous propofol were administered only at induction of anaesthesia and patency of airway was ensured with laryngeal mask airway.
The intraoperative bleeding scale recorded during the procedure to evaluate surgical site bleeding.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 296854 0
effects of ketamine+midazolam and propofol+fentanyl+lidocaine anesthesia on surgical site bleeding
The intraoperative bleeding scale was used
0= No hemorrhage
1= Slight hemorrhage; no compression via gauze of blood required
2= Slight hemorrhage; occasional compression via gauze required. Surgical field not threatened
3= Slight hemorrhage; frequent compression via gauze required. Hemorrhage threatened surgical field but a few seconds after compression via gauze bleeding was removed
4= Moderate hemorrhage; frequent compression via gauze required. Hemorrhage threatened surgical field directly after gauze compression was removed

The intraoperative bleeding scale defined by Kumari et al. was used

Secondary outcome [1] 319537 0

The postoperative bleeding scale was used
0= No hemorrhage
1= Slight hemorrhage: small amount of staining at the incision line
2= Moderate hemorrhage: bleeding stains the dressing
3= Severe hemorrhage: bleeding continues despite of dressing

Summary
Brief summary
Objective: To investigate the effects of ketamine+midazolam and propofol+fentanyl+lidocaine anesthesia on surgical site bleeding during circumcision procedures.

Materials and Methods: A total of 100 boys (aged 1-8 years) schedule for circumcision were included in the study. Patients were randomly divided into two groups. In the Group I (n=50), 0.01 mg/kg intravenous midazolam and 2 mg/kg intravenous ketamine were administered. In the Group II (n=50), 1microg/kg intravenous fentanyl, 1 mg/kg intravenous lidocaine, and 2-3 mg/kg intravenous propofol were administered and patency of airway was ensured with laryngeal mask airway. The intraoperative bleeding scale recorded during the procedure to evaluate surgical site bleeding. Dressing was checked to follow up bleeding throughout the postoperative.

Results: Intraoperative bleeding scores were significantly higher in Group I as compared to Group IIduring circumcision procedures. However, there was no significant difference between the groups in amount of bleeding for postoperative period.

Conclusion: Although intraoperative bleeding scores are significantly higher in ketamine+midazolamgroup compared to propofol+fentanyl+lidocaine group, this kind of bleeding can be easily controlled with appropriate hemostasis. Nevertheless ketamine should be carefully applied in patients with bleeding diathesis.
