Ketamine, despite proposed Schedule I classification, offers unique medical benefits. This discussion explores its applications, research, and risk-benefit balance for diverse patients.

Area of Science:

  • Anesthesiology
  • Pharmacology
  • Pain Medicine

Background:

  • A Chinese government petition seeks to classify ketamine as a Schedule I drug, citing high abuse potential and no accepted medical use.
  • This classification overlooks ketamine's established and potential therapeutic benefits in various medical contexts.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To discuss the current medical applications of ketamine.
  • To identify future research priorities for ketamine.
  • To evaluate the benefits versus risks of ketamine use.

Main Methods:

  • Interactive discussion among scholars from Translational Perioperative and Pain Medicine and International Chinese Academy of Anesthesiology WeChat groups.
  • Summarization and minor editing of the discussion content for manuscript publication.
