Efficacy of Preventive Ketamine on Postoperative Pain
Although bariatric surgery is mainly performed laparoscopically, analgesic optimization is still essential to reduce complications and to improve the patients' comfort. In laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, the intraoperative peritoneal instillation of bupivacaine hydrochloride (30 ml, 0.25%) was known to be safe and effective in reducing postoperative pain, nausea, and vomiting. Furthermore, …
Understanding and Treating Suicidal Ideation With Ketamine
The goal of this clinical trial is to treat active suicidal ideation in individuals with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) using ketamine and to understand suicidal ideation by examining biological mechanisms using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and psychological mechanisms through validated clinical scales and qualitative interviews. The main questions it aims …
Oral Ketamine for Treatment of Vaso-Occlusive Pain
The purpose of this study is to learn more about the feasibility of oral ketamine for the treatment of painful sickle-cell crises in children and adolescents as a supplement to intravenous (IV) opioids. There is a need for improved non-opioid analgesia for patients experiencing sickle-cell crises in the hospital and …
Effect of Ketamine on Intraoperative Motor Evoked Potentials
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the effect of ketamine on intraoperative motor evoked potentials in adult patients undergoing thoracolumbar spinal fusions. Participants will undergo a standard anesthetic. In addition to the standard anesthetic, the patients will be administered increasing doses of ketamine with motor-evoked potentials …
Ketamine in Patients Undergoing TEVAR Procedures Receiving NCI
The objective of this study is to identify the opioid-sparing effects, and pain-reduction potential of low dose, sub-dissociative ketamine on patients undergoing thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) procedures receiving naloxone continuous infusion (NCI).
IV Ketamine vs. IN Esketamine for MDD TRD
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the comparative acute effects of ketamine vs esketamine in participants over the age of 18 for the treatment of their severe depression and suicidal ideations. Participants are already taking antidepressants and/or antipsychotics as part of their regular medical care for …
Ketamine Augmentation of ECT in Treatment-Resistant Depression
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 3 clinical trial evaluating the additive effect of intravenous ketamine in combination with electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) in patients with treatment-resistant major depressive disorder (MDD). The study aims to determine whether ketamine enhances the antidepressant efficacy of ECT and reduces associated cognitive side effects. …
Low-Dose Ketamine Infusion During Burn Wound Care
The current standard of care (SOC) (i.e. fentanyl and midazolam) offers limited efficacy for preventing or relieving pain. Ketamine infusions may provide the benefits of analgesia, minimize adverse events, and reduce opioid use. The purpose of this study is to determine if adding a low dose ketamine infusion during wound …
Dexmedetomidine-Midazolam vs. Ketamine-Midazolam on Emergence Delirium
Fifty children undergoing heart catheterization without local anesthesia in the skin will be randomly divided into two groups. Group DM (Dexmedetomidine + Midazolam) and Group KM (Ketamine + Midazolam)
Ketamine-lidocaine Versus Ketamine-fentanyl for Induction of Anesthesia in Patients With Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction Undergoing Elective Coronary Artery Bypass
This study compares ketamine/fentanyl versus ketamine/lidocaine in term of their impact on cerebral perfusion during CABG. No prior data address these effects, and the goal is to identify the induction regimen that better preserves cerebral oxygenation.
