Summary
This study looked at whether giving a low dose of ketamine continuously could lower the amount of strong painkillers (opioids) needed by people with serious injuries. The goal was to see at least a 25% reduction in opioid use over 48 hours while still controlling pain just as well. The trial involved 140 adults with multiple severe injuries and compared ketamine to a placebo.
