Ketamine Treatment in Colorado Springs
My work in the emergency department has come with the frustration of only dealing with medical problems after they have escalated to level that brings the patient into the emergency department. I have always felt that addressing many of these problems earlier is a more effective approach.
Ketamine‘s excellent safety profile…
Starting in the mid 80s, I worked in an animal science lab and we use ketamine fairly extensively for procedural sedation. In medical school I learned about ketamine‘s excellent safety profile as a general anesthetic.
Beginning in residency in 1991 and throughout my career I have used ketamine safely for pain control and procedural sedation in the emergency department.
Good to know…
