Résumé
Ketamine has been studied as an alternative to opioids for acute pain in the emergency department setting. This review compares the effectives of intravenous ketamine at a dose of <0.5mg/kg to opioids for acute pain in adult patients. Measurements were taken within 60 minutes of administration. Ketamine was found to have similar effectiveness to opioids. Increased, but short-lived, side effects were seen with ketamine.
