Dose-dependent side effects of prehospital analgesia with ketamine for winter sports injuries – an observational study
Ketamine seems to be a suitable option for pain therapy in the case of injuries during alpine winter sport activities. Side effects reported by patients in this study were rare, not dose-dependent and described by most patients as subjectively well tolerable. The supplementary administration of midazolam could potentially further reduce these side effects.
