Ketamine's seizure risk under the microscope: new study results

This study looked at whether ketamine, a common sedative, might raise the chance of seizure-like brain activity compared to two other sedatives (midazolam and propofol). Researchers monitored 300 adults without epilepsy who were getting sedation for a routine stomach scope procedure. They used EEG brain wave recordings to check for any abnormal electrical activity. The goal was to better understand the safety of these drugs in people without known seizure disorders.
