Subanesthetic ketamine: how it alters physiology and behavior in humans

Laura M Rowland. Aviat Space Environ Med. 2005 Jul.

Abstract

Ketamine is a drug that is commonly used for anesthesia and analgesia worldwide. Although it has an excellent safety profile, cognitive and psychotomimetic adverse effects are commonly associated with its administration. This review describes the clinical applications, potential adverse events, neurobiological, and behavioral effects of ketamine used at subanesthetic doses in humans.
