Background. In literature, there is controversy on the use of ketamine for management of postoperative pain. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of pre-incisional intravenous or subcutaneous infiltration of ketamine on postoperative pain relief after open cholecystectomy. Methods. One hundred twenty patients, aged 18–60 years, scheduled for open cholecystectomy was enrolle...

in this study, the aim was the evaluation of effect of intravenous (iv) administration of ketamine, peritonsillar infiltration of tramadol and their combination for control of post-operative pain in comparison with single use of each drug in children undergoing tonsillectomy. one hundred and twenty children, aged 2-15 years, selected for elective adenotonsillectomy were enrolled in the study. w...

BACKGROUND Ketamine, an N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonist, can suppress hyperalgesia and allodynia. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy of preincisional intravenous or subcutaneous infiltration of ketamine for postoperative pain relief after appendectomy. METHODS Ninety patients, aged 18-60 years, scheduled for appendectomy was enrolled in this study....

This study compared the anaesthetic effects of intramuscular injection of Ketamine (K) (15 mg/kg) with intramuscular injection of Ketamine (K) (15 mg/kg) and Lignocaine (L) (4 mg/kg) infiltration for laparocaecectomy in 12 layer chickens (1.1±0.06 Kg) randomized into two groups (K, 5 chickens and KL, 7 chickens). The duration of recumbency of the K-L group (100.3±16.4 min) was significantly lon...
