Does ketamine alter pulmonary and systemic hemodynamics in intubated infants with normal or elevated pulmonary vascular resistance?
Does ketamine alter pulmonary and systemic hemodynamics in intubated infants with normal or elevated pulmonary vascular resistance?
Ketamine does not significantly alter pulmonary or systemic hemodynamics in intubated, mildly sedated infants, challenging recommendations to avoid its use in children with pulmonary hypertension.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May support ketamine use without hemodynamic concern in intubated infants; leaves open randomized confirmation in pulmonary hypertension.
Hickey et al. (1985) studied this question.
