Ketamine infusion contraindications
globe injury, liver disease, uncontrolled hypertension, or history of psychosis. Avoid in older patients, schizophrenics, and patients with heart disease experiencing agitated delirium.
Duration of action and possible side effects of Ketamine
The duration of action of Ketamine is approximately 10 to 20 minutes.
Notable side effects may include hypertension and tachycardia (usually mild and transient), laryngospasm (uncommon), emergence reactions, and vomiting. Side effects may be more common with rapid IV administration. Although respiratory complications are uncommon, clinicians using Ketamine must be prepared to manage airway obstruction.
Population to avoid use of Ketamine for pain/agitation
Aortic Emergency patients due to its mechanism of action and potential to worsen the patients’ overall outcome.
Benefits of Ketamine for the respiratory system
consider the use of Ketamine per anxiety/agitation protocol as Ketamine has bronchodilatory properties which may help optimize both oxygenation and ventilation.
Ketamine sedation and induction dose ADULT and PEDS
1-2 mg/kg IV/IO
Ketamine dose if sedation required for Moderate to Severe allergic reaction ADULT and PEDS:
0.5-1 mg/Kg IV/IO if wheezing or bronchorrhea.
Ketamine dose for Anxiety/agitation/sedation ADULT and PEDS:
IV/IO: 0.5-1 mg/kg q 10 min, titrate to effect
IM: 0.5-2 mg/kg, may repeat x1 at 0.5-1 mg/kg
IN: 0.5-3 mg/kg, may repeat x1 at 0.5-1 mg/kg

IV/IO/IM/IN: 0.15-0.3 mg/kg q 5-10 min

Level for hypoglycemia in ADULTS
<60
Intervention for hypoglycemia in ADULTS
Give 100-200 mL of D10.
Level for hypoglycemia in PEDS
PEDS < 1 month of age:
BGL<40
PEDS > 1 month of age:
BGL<60
Intervention for hypoglycemia in PEDS
D10 2ml/kg IV/IO
Intervention to prevent recurrent hypoglycemia PEDS
After euglycemia has been achieved via D10 boluses in the pediatric population, a dextrose infusion should be initiated to prevent recurrent hypoglycemia:
<1 month of age: D10 at 5 mL/kg/hr
>1 month of age: D10 at 2 mL/kg/hr
Increase rate by 1 mL/kg/hr every 15 min to maintain blood sugar above 40 for infants and above 60 for children.
How often do you check blood glucose in a patient with a hypoglycemic episode
every 10 minutes; repeat Dextrose as needed until patient alert and oriented or normal glycemia is achieved.
When can oral glucose be given
the patient is alert with a glucose level <60 mg/dl. (CCT only)
Interventions per DKA protocol if BG <250
begin D10 with maintenance fluids at 150cc/hr
