Outcomes and physiologic responses associated with ketamine administration after traumatic brain injury in the United States and Canada: a retrospective analysis

Ketamine administration after traumatic brain injury was not associated with increased mortality or greater disability despite being given to more severely injured patients. Ketamine exposure correlated with fewer episodes of elevated intracranial pressure and smaller rises in TBI protein biomarkers, but a higher incidence of seizures and, in the intracranial haemorrhage subgroup, more cardiac events.

The correlation between ketamine and posttraumatic stress disorder in burned service members

This observational study (n=241) investigated the prevalence of PTSD with respect to perioperative low-dose ketamine use in burned soldiers undergoing surgery. Results indicate that PTSD was less prevalent amongst soldiers who were treated with ketamine, despite having larger burns, higher injury severity score, undergoing more operations, and spending more time in the ICU compared to soldiers who did not receive it as a treatment.
