Ketamine hydrochloride, a dissociative anesthetic, can cause psychotropic effects and has abuse potential. This case highlights tolerance development in polysubstance abuse, emphasizing cautious medical use.

Area of Science:

  • Anesthesiology
  • Psychopharmacology
  • Toxicology

Background:

  • Ketamine hydrochloride is a rapid-acting, non-opioid anesthetic.
  • It induces dissociative anesthesia via N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonism.
  • Ketamine has a short elimination half-life and is used in medical and veterinary settings.

Observation:

  • Psychotropic effects range from dissociation to psychotic experiences.
  • Reported abuse typically involves individuals with polysubstance abuse history.
  • This case involves a polysubstance abuser experiencing high-dose ketamine effects.

Findings:

  • The case demonstrates significant tolerance to ketamine.
  • Prominent withdrawal symptoms were notably absent despite high-dose use.
