Episode 21 - Ketamine For Agitation

Episode 21 - Ketamine For Agitation

Dr. Dickson and Dr. Patrick take on one of our favorite topics here at MCHD - Ketamine and the agitated patient. Agitated patients come in a wide spectrum of severity. This discussion starts with a framework for stratifying agitated patients. We discuss the MCHD ketamine experience along with a less discussed patient population that may need ketamine control quicker than we often think. ***Remember that Ketamine is only to be used for patient protection and is never intended to be used out of convenience.*** References: 1. https://www.ems1.com/medical-clinical/articles/78100048-Ketamine-for-Excited-Delirium-Syndrome-Results-of-a-3-year-case-series/ 2.
