Effect of Subanaesthetic Dose of Ketamine on Depth of Anaesthesia Consistency
General Anaesthesia (GA) is a medical state of controlled unconsciousness that inhibits two dimensions of consciousness: the content and the level of consciousness. This state is achieved using various anaesthetic agents, with propofol being one of the most commonly used intravenous anaesthetics. Propofol is a gamma amino butyric acid (GABAA) …
Nebulized Dexmedetomidine Combined With Ketamine Versus Nebulized Dexmedetomidine for Cleft Palate
To compare the efficacy of the pre-operative nebulization of a combination of dexmedetomidine and ketamine versus nebulization of dexmedetomidine alone for sedation and prevention of emergence delirium in children undergoing cleft palate repair surgeries.
Ketamine Sedation As Neuroprotective Agent Following Out-of-hospital Cardiac Arrest
OHCA is a critical medical emergency with significant mortality and morbidity primarily due to hypoxic-ischemic brain injury (HIBI). Despite advances in resuscitation techniques, the neurological outcomes for survivors remain poor. Current post-resuscitation practices lack specific neuroprotective strategies. Ketamine, an N-Methyl-D-Aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist, has shown potential neuroprotective properties in preclinical …
Dexmedetomidine Versus Dexmedetomidine and Ketamine (Ketodex) in Ear and Nose Surgeries
The study aims to compare the efficacy, safety and overall effectiveness of dexmedetomidine and dexmedtomidine and ketamine (ketodex) in achieving controlled hypotension during Ear and nose surgeries. Assessment the analgesic and sedative role of both drugs.
A Study of Ketamine Infusions to Treat Clinically-depressed ICU Patients
The purpose of this research is to study the effects of intravenous ketamine infusions for the treatment of patients with depressive symptoms in intensive care unit (ICU).
Ketamine Administration for Postoperative Pain Management in Patients Undergoing Knee Arthroplasty
This study is conducted to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of ketamine infusion for pain relief after knee replacement surgery. Adult patients who have undergone knee arthroplasty will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. The study group will receive standard pain management plus a continuous infusion of ketamine …
The Anesthetic Ketamine as Treatment for Patients With Severe Acute Brain Injury
Cortical spreading depolarisations are pathological depolarisation waves that occur frequently after severe acute brain injury and has been associated with poor outcome. S-ketamine has been shown to inhibit cortical spreading depolarisations. The aim of the present study is to examine the efficacy and safety of using S-ketamine for treatment of …
Fascia Iliaca Block Versus Intravenous Dexmedetomidine and Ketamine for Positioning Fracture Femur
Proximal femur fractures are one of the commonest fractures especially in the elderly population. Early surgical fixation is the best analgesic for associated pain. Spinal anesthesia has been favored by many anesthesiologists due to the simplicity of the technique, the better analgesic profile, and the lower incidence of complications like …
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 …
