Implication

Randomized controlled trial found lower pain scores in patients receiving ketamine infusion during surgery, indicating potential benefits for post-operative pain management.

Key Points

Ketamine infusion significantly reduced post-operative pain scores immediately and at 2 hours.
Mean pain scores at 0 hours (1.6 vs. 2.7) and 2 hours (2.3 vs. 4.8) showed a significant reduction in the ketamine group.
Time to first rescue analgesia was significantly extended in the ketamine group, improving pain control duration.
An analgesic consumption was much higher in the control group compared to the ketamine group, indicating effective pain management.
