Ketamine for Pain in the Emergency Department
Terminated
This study will prospectively compare the mean Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) pain score reduction amongst three recommended dosing strategies of intravenous ketamine (0.1 mg/kg, 0.2 mg/kg, and 0.3mg/kg) for acute pain in the emergency department (ED).This study will also examine the frequency of adverse events secondary to ketamine including fatigue, dizziness, nausea, headache, feeling of unreality, changes in hearing or vision, mood changes, generalized discomfort, and hallucinations, changes i...

Effect of Postoperative Single Dose of Ketamine on Pain After Mastectomy
Completed
This is a randomized, single blinded, placebo-controlled trial to study the effectiveness of a subanesthetic dose (0.6mg/kg) of ketamine versus placebo (saline) on postoperative pain on adult women undergoing mastectomy. The objective of the study is to examine the effect of a subanesthetic dose (0.6mg/kg) of ketamine vs. saline control on postoperative pain in subjects who have undergone mastectomy.

Intraoperative Methadone Administration for Improved Pain Control in Spinal Fusion Patients
Terminated
Methadone has several advantages over standard narcotic medications, especially when considering use after a typically painful surgery such as lumbar fusion. Methadone is low cost, has a long half-life, has a convenient dosing schedule, has excellent oral bioavailability, and demonstrates slow onset to withdrawal. The literature comparing methadone to more commonly used post-operative narcotics demonstrates that it manages pain better, sustains consistent plasma concentrations, decreases overall... Read More

Intranasal Ketamine for Anxiolysis in Pediatric Emergency Department Patients
Terminated
Investigators plan to conduct a randomized, double-blinded, controlled study among pediatric patients requiring minor procedures in the Emergency Department setting. Patients will be randomized to one of two arms of intranasal treatments: ketamine 1.0 mg/kg (K) or midazolam 0.3 mg/kg (M). The primary outcome will be change in anxiety using the Modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale (mYPAS).

Ketamine for Severe Adolescent Depression: Intermediate-term Safety and Efficacy
Terminated
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the intermediate-term efficacy and tolerability of a multiple-dosing ketamine infusion paradigm for the treatment of medication-refractory major depressive disorder (MDD). We are using a two-phase design. The first phase is a 3-week double blind parallel design clinical trial comparing 6 infusions of ketamine compared to 6 infusions of midazolam in 24 adolescents with treatment resistant depression. The primary outcome of this phase will be Children's Dep... Read More

Combined Ketamine/Propofol for Emergency Department Procedural Sedation
Terminated
Introduction Numerous drugs and combinations of drugs are used for procedural sedation and analgesia (PSA) in Emergency Departments, including propofol, ketamine, benzodiazepines, narcotics, barbiturates, and others, but propofol has gained popularity despite its potential to cause cardiac and respiratory depression. Obviously the optimal agent or combination of agents has not been identified. There are reasons to believe that a combination of ketamine and propofol may have advantages over othe... Read More

The Effects of Ketamine on Respiratory Stimulation and Transpulmonary Pressures
Completed
Impairment of airway patency is a common cause of extubation failure and opioids and hypnotics can adversely affect airway patency. Ketamine, a noncompetitive antagonist of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA), unlike other anesthetics activates respiratory effort and promotes bronchodilation. At subanesthetic plasma concentration, ketamine reduces both opioid and propofol requirements. The purpose of this pharmaco-physiological interaction trial is to evaluate the effects of ketamine on breathing and e... Read More

Ketamine as an Augmentation Strategy for Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) in Depression
Completed
The study aims to compare outcomes of Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) using ketamine versus methohexital anesthesia in depressed patients. The investigators hypothesize that patients who receive ketamine anesthesia during ECT will achieve remission status faster than those receiving methohexital anesthesia. Also, at the end of the ECT course subjects will display fewer cognitive side effects compared to those treated with methohexital anesthesia.
