Excellent video's sir. So, would, say, 10 mg/KG IM dart in an uncontrollable patient be a good option if they don't have access? Calm them down, support their resp status while you place a central line, etc?
Hey Doc I wear reading glasses can’t see real good but couple years back I have a gram of ketamine. So every time I would do a little I wouldn’t have to wear my glasses for about a week and a half and then slowly my eyes screwed back up again. it does something to your eyes your vision for me it was it was helping my vision. I noticed that the phencyclidines like 3-MEO and PCE didn’t have that effect
Hey, thanks for the comment! The nice thing about anesthesia is that you can kind of do things any way you'd like! So, ketamine is a great drug for maintaining a patient's spontaneous respiration even at high IV induction doses like at 4mg/kg. In a 70 kg person, even a full induction dose would be 280mg, more than 3x the amount. Yes, you can use 20 to 30, you can use more, you can use less. All dependent on the patient, the practitioner and the situation! Ask around, see how some of your colleagues dose it! :D
Agreed. My protocol states that I can give 2mg/Kg for excited delirium, meaning that if I (technically) encounter a 200kg pt that I can give 400mg and be within my protocol. Ketamine is crazy but wonderful drug when used appropriately

Nice video! Do you have links to studies suggesting ketamine lowers ICP?
I suppose you mean Intra cranial Pressure but I don’t know.
Where did you get the dosing from? 80mg as an adjunct seems really high. Normally i use 20-30 for an averaged size person

2mg / kg is the right dose for induction isn't it
