    Oral ketamine effectively induced anesthesia in women undergoing abortion, with most patients appreciating the method. However, some required additional anesthesia or experienced intraoperative reactions, suggesting potential modifications are needed.

    Area of Science:

    • Anesthesiology
    • Pharmacology

    Context:

    • Oral ketamine is explored as a method for general anesthesia.
    • Voluntary abortion procedures in young women are the focus.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and patient acceptance of oral ketamine for general anesthesia during voluntary abortions.

    Summary:

    • Oral ketamine (7.5 mg/kg) was administered to 47 women for abortion anesthesia.
    • Additional anesthesia was needed in some cases due to persistent consciousness or intraoperative reactions.
    • A significant majority (78.8%) of patients found the technique acceptable.
    • However, issues like lack of narcosis (17%), intraoperative analgesia (23%), and postoperative nightmares were noted.

  • Findings suggest oral ketamine is a viable anesthetic option for voluntary abortions, but requires refinement.
  • Identified areas for improvement include narcosis, intraoperative analgesia, and management of postoperative nightmares.
