    Summary

    Ketamine is a safe anesthetic for surgical procedures, causing temporary, clinically insignificant changes in blood gases. It is recommended as a sole anesthetic agent for patients in disaster situations.

    Area of Science:

    • Anesthesiology
    • Pharmacology

    Context:

    • Surgical procedures require effective anesthesia.
    • Ketamine is an anesthetic agent with known physiological effects.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of ketamine as a sole anesthetic agent.
    • To compare ketamine alone versus ketamine-relaxant-air anesthesia.

    Summary:

    • Both anesthetic methods resulted in transient increases in blood pressure and pulse rate, returning to normal intraoperatively.
    • Ketamine administration led to temporary decreases in arterial oxygen and increases in carbon dioxide, which were not clinically significant.
    • Metabolic parameters remained within normal ranges throughout the study.

    Impact:

    • Ketamine can be safely used as a sole anesthetic agent in both ventilated and spontaneously breathing patients.
    • Findings support ketamine's utility in emergency and disaster scenarios.
    • The study provides evidence for ketamine's favorable safety profile in diverse patient populations.
