Description

Dmitriy Viderman, Diyara Mukazhan, Kamilla Kapessova, Meiram Tungushpayev, and Rafael Badenes gather the best proof on ketamine for sharp, short-term pain. Their work is a review of reviews: they searched major databases and kept twenty systematic reviews on the drug. Most of those reviews scored low on quality checks, which the authors flag with care.

Across the proof, ketamine given by vein around surgery cut pain soon after treatment. It also cut the need for opioid pain drugs in the first two days by a wide margin, and lowered nausea. The paper weighs the drug as a helpful add-on in care around surgery, while calling for stronger studies.
