Patient Outcomes Following Ketamine Administration for Acute Agitation with a Decreased Dosing Protocol in the Prehospital Setting

Cassidy Cunningham et al.

Summary: Agitated behaviors are common in the prehospital setting and require emergent treatment. Using a lower dose IM ketamine protocol for chemical sedation did not lead to significantly different outcomes, although patients who received a second dose of ketamine had a higher intubation rate.

Use of intramuscular ketamine by paramedics in the management of severely agitated patients

Stephen Bernard et al.

Summary: IM ketamine is an effective option for managing severely agitated patients in the prehospital setting, with 96.9% achieving adequate sedation in a median time of 5.0 minutes and a low rate of prehospital complications. Prospective, randomized trials comparing ketamine to other agents in Australasia are needed.
