Interventions

Ketamine

Find Ketamine in Sedation. NMDA antagonism produces dissociative anesthesia and analgesia. Sympathetic stimulation commonly raises HR/BP; depleted sympathetic reserve may expose myocardial depression.

Overview

Open Interventions → Sedation. Choose Off, Low, Medium, High. Effect levels and flow targets represent illustrative modeled responses; they are not clinical dose instructions.

NMDA antagonism produces dissociative anesthesia and analgesia. Sympathetic stimulation commonly raises HR/BP; depleted sympathetic reserve may expose myocardial depression.

The paused reference covers the route (IV; IM is a separate clinical route.), example doses/settings, indications, adverse effects, contraindications/precautions and monitoring. These details are available after the intervention is selected.

What to monitor in the reference: BP, rhythm, perfusion, airway and ventilation; preserved reflexes do not guarantee airway protection.

Step by step

  1. Inspect the untreated disease and active treatment count.
  2. Apply the intervention and compare pressures, forward flow, rhythm and congestion.
  3. Pause for its full reference; use Off or Interventions Reset to restart the comparison.
