Posted on September 10, 2018 by admin

Here is a link to the excellent post, Is Ketamine Contraindicated in Patients with Psychiatric Disorders?, from RebelEM. I’ve included direct links to all of my other posts on ketamine, airway management, rapid sequence intubation, and procedural sedation and analgesia in Additional Resources below.

The above link was sent to me by my friend Dr. Kayur Patel, Founder and Chief Medical Officer of Wellness For Life. His medical group has innovative services for employers and their employees. If you are employer, you should definitely visit his site.

Thanks for the link, Dr. Patel.

Additional Resources:

Ketamine is an outstanding medication that is used safely and effectively every day by  Emergency Medicine physicians.

However, the safe use of ketamine requires extensive knowledge and experience of every aspect of airway management. In addition to my posts on ketamine below, please see my posts on Airway Management (144 posts), Rapid Sequence Intubation (52 posts), and Procedural Sedation And Analgesia (14 posts).
