Article Synopsis
- Ketamine is being tested as an alternative pain management option for acute long bone fractures due to concerns about side effects limiting its use alongside traditional morphine treatment.
- In a study involving 58 patients, those receiving low-dose ketamine showed significantly greater pain reduction compared to those receiving morphine alone within the first 60 minutes post-treatment.
- While ketamine was effective, it did lead to a higher incidence of dizziness among patients, warranting further evaluation of its safety profile.
