Feasibility and Safety of Ketamine for Suicidal Patients in the Emergency Department
There is currently no readily available pharmacologic intervention for suicidal ideation, a true psychiatric emergency, in the Emergency Department (ED). Investigators aim to trial low-dose, intravenous ketamine, a drug with well-established use in treatment-resistant depression, for patients who present to the ED with suicidal ideation.
Study of IV Ketamine for Emergency Department Treatment of Adolescent Suicidal Ideation
Approximately 20% of Canadian adolescents experience thoughts of suicide, or suicidal ideation (SI), and suicide is the second leading cause of death among Canadians aged 15-19 years. The emergency department at CHEO sees approximately four patients per day with SI. Even though this is a medical emergency, there are no …
Comparative Effectiveness Study of Two Forms of Ketamine for Treatment-resistant Depression
The goal of this study is to compare the effectiveness of two formulations of ketamine - Spravato® and racemic ketamine - in people with treatment-resistant depression (TRD). The main questions it aims to answer are: How the two formulations compare in terms of their effectiveness in treating TRD. How the …
A Ketamine-assisted Group Therapy Intervention for Spanish-speaking Adults With Depression
This is a pilot clinical trial to assess the feasibility, safety, and preliminary efficacy of ketamine-assisted group therapy for Spanish-speaking adults with depression
Early Effects of Ketamine vs Placebo With Venlafaxine in Severe Depression Patients
Unipolar major depressive disorder is the leading cause of disability worldwide. The most commonly used treatments for major depressive episodes (MDE) are antidepressant medications. However, they have limited efficacy and their onset of action is long, ranging between 2 to 6 weeks. During this period, hospitalization can become necessary, especially …
Effects of Dexmedetomidine Versus Ketamine on Inflammatory Response and Hemodynamic in Patients
Inflammatory response and hemodynamic response in patients with intraabdominal sepsis and Effects of Dexmedetomidine versus ketamine on it .
The Effect of Outpatient Ketamine Infusion on Chronic Neuropathic Pain and PTSD
This study is aimed to evaluate outpatient ketamine infusion within a military chronic neuropathic pain population and its effect on PTSD. Currently, this is a pilot study with 30 participants. Participants will be randomized to (1) a moderate dose ketamine, (2) moderate dose ketamine +Mg, or (3) a magnesium control …
Ketamine Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics for Postpartum Depression and Pain After Cesarean Delivery
The purpose of this study is to identify pharmacokinetics of postpartum ketamine infusion. This study will assess ketamine kinetics and metabolism in this setting. Ketamine is expected to exert different kinetics during the physiologic state of post-pregnancy. The goal in conducting this study is to better understand the pharmacokinetics and …
Ketamine for Pain, Opioid Use, and Mental Health in Orthopedic Trauma Patients
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if ketamine, given during surgery, can help improve recovery for adults with serious orthopedic trauma. The study will test whether ketamine reduces pain, lowers the need for opioids, and improves mental health outcomes like depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The …
Nebulized Ketamine to Nebulized Fentanyl for Treating Acute Painful Conditions in the ED
In situations where intravenous access is not readily available or is unobtainable and the intranasal route is not feasible, another non-invasive route of ketamine administration, such as inhalation via breath-actuated Nebulizer (BAN), is becoming a viable alternative. The BAN allows the controlled, patient-initiated delivery of analgesics in a measured and …
