RESUMO
The specific features of general anesthesia during short inpatient operations were performed in 85 patients who were regular CAT users owing to their national habits. According to the herbal psychogenic stimulant CAT dependence, the patients were divided into 3 groups. The findings indicate that propofol (2 mg/kg) in combination with isoflurane and premedication as diatepam (0.1-0.15 mg/kg) and fentanyl (1 mg/kg) is the anesthesia of choice in all group patients. Ketamine in combination with isoflurane may be used in the controls and Group 1 patients with mild CAT dependence. In patients with moderate and severe CAT dependence, ketamine should be considered to be contraindicated due to the development of adverse psychomotor and somatic reactions requiring monitoring and drug correction in an intensive care unit. The results of the study have been introduced into practice on choosing the modes of anesthesia at the Revolution Hospital, Republic of Yemen.
