Electroencephalogram Studies of Induction and Recovery From Ketamine-Induced General Anesthesia
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating Ketamine for Anesthesia. Completed, enrolled 16 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
We are doing this research study to find out how and where ketamine acts in the brain. Ketamine is an anesthetic (a drug or agent used to decrease or eliminate the feeling of pain by putting you in an unconscious state). We will look at the brain using a machine that records the brain's electrical activity, called an electroencephalogram (EEG). We will assess how it impacts patient's pain responses.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Subjects' brain waves will be monitored by EEG recording under ketamine general anesthesia over the course of approximately 60 minutes. Patients pain and dissociation will be assessed before the induction of ketamine and periodically after. Approximately 1 hour after ketamine induction, Midazolam will be administered to reduce patient dissociation.
