Podcast 811: Ketamine for Pain

Podcast 811: Ketamine for Pain

Contributor: Lessen, Aaron MD

Educational Pearls:

  • Ketamine can be given at 0.2-0.3 mg/kg as subdissociative doses for pain control in the ED
    • Ketamine coadministered with Haldol may reduce agitation
  • A recent study in Iran compared subdissociative Ketamine given with 2.5 mg Haldol to 1 mg/kg Fentanyl for pain control in the ED
    • Ketamine with Haldol had better pain control than Fentanyl at 5, 10, 15 and 30 minutes
    • Ketamine with Haldol less frequently required rescue medication
    • Ketamine with Haldol did have increased agitation at only the 10 minute mark
    • Of note, there was not a Ketamine only group to compare
  • Ketamine with Haldol is a viable alternative combination for pain control
