Success Rates Of Turning Breech Babies Increased By Anesthesia, Delivery Costs Reduced
Source: Pain / Anesthetics News From Medical News Today [2013.04.22]
When a baby is in the breech position at the end of pregnancy, obstetricians can sometimes turn the baby head-down to enable a safer vaginal birth. In the past, women were not given anesthesia during the turning procedure, which requires the physician to push on the woman's abdomen while monitoring the baby with ultrasound...

Clinical Trials Related to Ketalar (Ketamine)
Ketamine on Acute Pain in Females and Males [Completed]
The purpose of the study is to determine whether equal subanesthetic doses of racemic
ketamine is equally effective on females and males after surgical removal of third molars
Ketamine Versus Co-administration of Ketamine and Propofol for Procedural Sedation in a Pediatric Emergency Department [Recruiting]
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of the co-administration of
intravenous ketamine and propofol to intravenous ketamine as a single agent for procedural
sedation in the pediatric emergency department. The investigators hypothesize that patients
receiving co-administration of ketamine and propofol will have a lower rate of adverse
events, compared to patients receiving ketamine for procedural sedation.
The Effect of Perioperative Ketamine on Acute and Chronic Pain After Major Back Surgery [Recruiting]
After a surgical operation, patients may suffer from chronic pain. Ketamine, a well known
anesthetic acts on receptors in the spine (NMDA receptors), which are implied in the
occurrence of chronic pain. The mechanism is called central sensation. It is known that
Ketamine reduces immediate postoperative pain, but its effectiveness in the prevention of
the chronic pain is still unknown. The investigators study will follow patients until one
year after operation for the occurrence of chronic pain. The investigators hypothesis is
that Ketamine reduces significantly chronic postoperative pain after major back surgery and
improves patient outcome.
There may be important inter-individual differences how persons react on a drug. These
differences are partly determined by the genes of each individual. The investigators study
includes therefore a genetic analysis.
Psychological and social factors also influence the perception of pain. It is still not well
understood who these "psychosocial factors" determine the appearance and perception of
chronic pain. In the investigators study the investigators will therefore study these
factors by questionnaires.
Effect of Ketamine (Ketalar) on Intracranial Pressure [Recruiting]
Objectives: Ketamine is an effective, short-acting anesthetic drug, which does not decrease
blood pressure. It is widely stated that Ketamine increases intracranial pressure (ICP),
which prevents its use in many emergency situations, specifically in patients with traumatic
brain injury (TBI) and with increased ICP. Based on previous clinical experience, we
hypothesized that Ketamine decreases – rather than increases – ICP.
Methods: Prospective, controlled, clinical trial. Children with ICP monitoring will receive
a single Ketamine dose (1-1. 5 mg/kg) either for increased ICP and/or before a potentially
distressing activity. Hemodynamic variables, ICP and cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) will
be recorded 1 minute before and every minute for 10 minutes following Ketamine
administration (Before/after design).
Ketamine Associated With Morphine PCA After Total Hip Arthroplasty [Recruiting]
Ketamine (an analgesic drug often associated with morphine in the treatment of Opioid
Induced Hyperalgesia) is often mixed in Morphine PCA syringe. We make the hypothesis that
ketamine administrated separately via a continuous infusion, could induced a better
analgesic effect.
We will perform a randomised double blind study to determine the best infusion mode of
intravenous ketamine, associated with morphine in PCA syringe or alone in continuous
infusion.
