What is the nature of the emergence phenomenon when using intravenous or intramuscular ketamine for paediatric procedural sedation
Emergency Medicine Australasia, 08/11/09
Treston G et al. – The belief that ketamine, in the doses used for ED PPS, causes frequent emergence delirium is flawed. A pleasant emergence phenomenon is common, but is not distressing for the child, and has no long–term (up to 30 days) negative sequelae. Rarely, there is anxiety or distress on awakening from ketamine sedation, which settles spontaneously. This should not deter emergency physicians from using ketamine for PPS.
