A Non-Comparative Prospective Pilot Study of Ketamine for Sedation in Adult Septic Shock.
Conclusion: This pilot study demonstrated a trend towards decreased vasopressor dose, and decreased benzodiazepine and opiate use when ketamine is used as the sole sedative. The limitations to our study include a small sample size and those inherent in using a retrospective control group. Our findings should be further explored in a large, randomized prospective study.
