Purpose: Our objective was to determine if an oral ketamine swish and expectorate was a safe and effective method to alleviate mucositis pain.
Methods: A retrospective chart audit was preformed on eight patients who received ketamine mouthwash (20 mg/5 mL) for refractory mucositis pain.
Results: All eight patients had mucositis pain refractory to a mucositis mixture (lidocaine, magnesium/aluminum hydroxide, and diphenhydramine) and opioids.
