Clinical Focus

Safety concepts in the anesthetic management of patients

• 1. Jouguelet-Lacoste J, La Colla L, Schilling D, et al. The use of intravenous infusion or single dose of low-dose ketamine for postoperative analgesia: A review of the current literature. Pain Medicine 16:383-403;2015
  This paper reported on data assessed from 5 meta-analyses and 39 clinical trials assessing the use of ketamine as an adjunctive agent in the management of postoperative pain. Ketamine reduced opioid consumption and reduced pain score.
• 2. Garg N, Panda NB, Gandhi KA, et al. Comparison of small dose ketamine and dexmedetomidine infusion for postoperative analgesia in spine surgery – A prospective randomized double-blind placebo controlled study. J Neurosurg Anesthesiol Epub ahead of print PMID 26018671
  Both ketamine and dexmedetomidine have analgesic properties at doses below what is commonly used to produce their anesthetic effect. This prospective study compared the efficacy of each agent [ketamine (0.25 mg/kg bolus + 0.25mg/kg/h infusion) with midazolam (10 mcg/kg bolus + 10 mcg/kg/h infusion), dexmedetomidine (0.5mcg/kg bolus + 0.3 mcg/kg/hr infusion)] to produce postoperative analgesia. Both agents were effective with minimal adverse effects although ketamine did have statistically significant differences in nausea/vomiting and diplopia.
• 3. Peng K, Liu HY, Wu SR, Cheng H, Ji FH. Effects of Combining Dexmedetomidine and Opioids for Postoperative Intravenous Patient-controlled Analgesia: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis. Clin J Pain 2015. Epub ahead of print PMID 2565434
