About Ketamine Powder
Ketamine is a powerful substance that has shown effectiveness in treating depression, especially in patients with bipolar disorder who have not responded to traditional antidepressants. Unlike typical antidepressants that can take weeks to work, Ketamine exhibits a rapid stimulant effect, often acting within two hours. Its hydrochloride salt is sold under various brand names such as Ketanest, Ketaset, and Ketalar.
Pharmacologically, Ketamine is considered an Nmda receptor antagonist. At high doses, it has also been found to bind to µ-opioid receptors in human neuroblastoma cells and sigma receptors in rats. Moreover, Ketamine interacts with muscarinic receptors, modulates monoaminergic pain pathways, and affects voltage-gated calcium channels.
Pain Management:
Ketamine is not only used for its antidepressant properties but also as an effective tool in pain management. In postoperative settings, low doses of Ketamine have been shown to reduce the need for morphine and alleviate nausea and vomiting. Additionally, it exhibits similar efficacy to opioids in acute pain management and procedural pain control in hospital emergency departments.
For intractable pain, especially neuropathic pain, Ketamine can be used as an intravenous analgesic alongside opiates. It provides the added benefit of countering spinal sensitization and wind-up phenomena commonly experienced with chronic pain. When used in combination with low-dose opioids, Ketamine proves most effective, as the doses required for adequate pain relief as a sole analgesic agent are significantly higher and more likely to produce disorienting side effects. Research suggests that Ketamine may be a viable option for treatment-refractory cancer pain.
Treatment of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS):
In certain cases, low-dose Ketamine is utilized for the treatment of complex regional pain syndrome. Although evidence supporting its use for CRPS is limited, it remains an option to explore under medical supervision.
Anesthesia Uses:
Ketamine finds extensive application as an anesthetic, especially in specific scenarios. It is employed as the sole anesthetic for minor procedures in children, or as an induction agent followed by muscle relaxants and tracheal intubation. In emergency departments, Ketamine serves as a sedative for physically painful procedures. Additionally, it is used in emergency surgery under field conditions in war zones.
For spinal or epidural anesthesia/analgesia, low doses of Ketamine can be supplemented to enhance the effects. One notable advantage of Ketamine is its ability to stimulate, rather than depress, the circulatory system when used at anesthetic doses. This characteristic allows for the possibility of performing Ketamine anesthesia without the need for extensive protective measures for the airways.
In emergency medicine, Ketamine serves as a dissociative sedative and is the drug of choice for individuals in traumatic shock who are at risk of hypotension. It is least likely to cause low blood pressure, and in some cases, can even prevent it. Ketamine is considered relatively safe due to the preservation of protective airway reflexes.
Respiratory and Circulatory Systems:
Ketamine exhibits unique effects on the respiratory and circulatory systems compared to other anesthetics. It generally stimulates the circulatory system when used at anesthetic doses. While it suppresses breathing less than other available anesthetics, Ketamine may induce hallucinations, limiting its use as a primary anesthetic. However, it remains the anesthetic of choice when reliable.
