Ketamine pharmacology

A

ketamine is an anaesthetic agent which acts as a NMDA receptor antagonist. At lower doses this drug produces significant analgesia while the airway reflexes and respiratory drive are preserved. unlike other general anesthetics there is minimal haemodynamic compromise as ketamine acts as a sympathomimetic agent. however this may result in transient tachycardia & hypertension . ketamine produces a dissociative state which will potentially cause the patient to have significant issues with preception, resulting in disinhibition and emergence phenomenon
