Subanesthetic ketamine: how it alters physiology and behavior in humans.
نویسنده
چکیده
Ketamine is a drug that is commonly used for anesthesia and analgesia worldwide. Although it has an excellent safety profile, cognitive and psychotomimetic adverse effects are commonly associated with its administration. This review describes the clinical applications, potential adverse events, neurobiological, and behavioral effects of ketamine used at subanesthetic doses in humans.

Oncology patients undergoing treatment can experience substantial pain related to their disease or prescribed therapy. Ketamine infusions at subanesthetic doses have been used at our institution to supplement the pain management regimens of 262 patients. We present 2 cases in which young adult patients being treated with subanesthetic ketamine for cancer-related pain experienced urinary urgency...
متن کاملNMDA antagonist ketamine reduces task selectivity in macaque dorsolateral prefrontal neurons and impairs performance of randomly interleaved prosaccades and antisaccades.
Ketamine, an NMDA receptor antagonist, has been shown to induce behavioral abnormalities in humans that mimic the positive, negative, and most importantly cognitive deficits observed in schizophrenia. Similar cognitive deficits have been observed in nonhuman primates after a subanesthetic dose of ketamine, including an impairment in their ability to perform the antisaccade task, which requires ...
متن کاملThe NADPH oxidase NOX2 controls glutamate release: a novel mechanism involved in psychosis-like ketamine responses.
Subanesthetic doses of NMDA receptor antagonist ketamine induce schizophrenia-like symptoms in humans and behavioral changes in rodents. Subchronic administration of ketamine leads to loss of parvalbumin-positive interneurons through reactive oxygen species (ROS), generated by the NADPH oxidase NOX2. However, ketamine induces very rapid alterations, in both mice and humans. Thus, we have invest...
متن کاملS-ketamine anesthesia increases cerebral blood flow in excess of the metabolic needs in humans.
BACKGROUND Animal studies have demonstrated neuroprotective properties of S-ketamine, but its effects on cerebral blood flow (CBF), metabolic rate of oxygen (CMRO2), and glucose metabolic rate (GMR) have not been comprehensively studied in humans. METHODS Positron emission tomography was used to quantify CBF and CMRO2 in eight healthy male volunteers awake and during S-ketamine infusion targe...
متن کاملKetamine for perioperative pain management.
AS part of the effort to develop mechanisms-based approaches to pain therapy, renewed interest has focused on the use of ketamine for treatment of acute and chronic pain. In particular, the role of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) excitatory glutamate receptors in nociceptive transmission has been established in humans. NMDA receptors participate in the development and maintenance of what can be cal...
