Intrathecal ketamine doses of 0.7-0.95 mg/kg produced motor and sensory block, but with significant limitations.
Severe psychotomimetic side effects were observed in 30% of patients, highlighting safety concerns.
The onset of motor block was rapid within 2-3 minutes, yet the duration was short, lasting only 30-60 minutes.
Half of the patients required general anesthesia despite adequate sensory block, indicating inadequate analgesia.
