Ketamine is not much of a sedative. Trust me. I know what works.
It’s a lousy sedative. One doc at Henbepin is running a protocol trial to see if it can be managed as a sedative. It is the only place in the country this is going on.
Ketamine is not used in this manner anywhere else
Begging your pardon, however Ketamine is a general anesthetic agent capable of producing an anesthetized state when administered at 1 mg / kg. Trust me I know what works — I am and anesthesiologist and have used this drug many times to induce anesthesia
