Clinical Practice Guideline for Emergency Department Dissociative Sedation with Ketamine

Clinical Practice Guideline for Emergency Department Dissociative Sedation with Ketamine
American College of Emergency Physicians

We update an evidence-based clinical practice guideline for the administration of the dissociative agent ketamine
for emergency department procedural sedation and analgesia. Substantial new research warrants revision of the
widely disseminated 2004 guideline, particularly with respect to contraindications, age recommendations, potential
neurotoxicity, and the role of coadministered anticholinergics and benzodiazepines. We critically discuss
indications, contraindications, personnel requirements, monitoring, dosing, coadministered medications, recovery
issues, and future research questions for ketamine dissociative sedation. [Ann Emerg Med. 2011;57:449-461.]
