Ketamine in subanesthetic doses became popular as a recreational drug for its strong, quickly achievable antidepressant effect and short-acting, well-tolerated psychotomimetic (hallucinogenic dissociative) effect. Numerous cases of genitourinary system dysfunction associated with ketamine use have been reported. We describe case ketamine-use-related symptoms 23-year-old man who was found to acu...

Summary Ketamine is a racemic mixture of two enantiomers, R- and S-ketamine [1]. The primarily used as anaesthestic agent. In low or sub anaesthetic doses, ketamine has potent analgesic properties, it been effectively either primary adjuvant in varieties pain syndromes burn dressings children [2]. this case report, we illustrate the effectiveness oral controlling during wound dressing an adult ...

background: ketamine is the only anesthetic agent that leads to an increase of blood pressure and heart rate by activation of sympathetic nervous system. however, there is a controversy about this effect of ketamine especially if used in small dosage. we proposed to evaluate the hemodynamic effect of small dose of ketamine during phacoemulsification. methods: one hundred patients of asa physica...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the renal protective efficacy propofol, ketamine, and ketofol in an ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) model experimentally induced rats. Thirty-five male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned into five groups: sham (Group 1), control 2), ketamine 3), propofol 4), 5). Following administration intramuscular hydrochloride anesthesia, left hilum exp...

Objective- The purpose of this study was to evaluate the protective impacts of Plantago. major (P. major) against the adverse effects resulted from testicular ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) on kidney and liver.Design- Experimental study.Animals- Twenty-four male rats.Procedures- The testicular I/R was induced by f...

BACKGROUND Unlike most anesthetics, ketamine racemate (S, R (+/-)-ketamine) induces heterogenous changes in cerebral metabolism. S, R (+/-)-ketamine is an equimolar mixture of two enantiomers, S (+)-ketamine and R (-)-ketamine, which differ in affinity for neuroreceptors and pharmacologic activities. This study investigated comparatively the effects of ketamine racemate and enantiomers on cereb...

STUDY OBJECTIVE The primary objective is to compare total sedation time when ketamine/propofol is used compared with ketamine alone for pediatric procedural sedation and analgesia. Secondary objectives include time to recovery, adverse events, efficacy, and satisfaction scores. METHODS Children (aged 2 to 17 years) requiring procedural sedation and analgesia for management of an isolated orth...
