Trial of the Week: Ketamine for EM Agitation
Special Guest: Justin Lin, PharmD, BCPS, BCCCP @jjlinpharmd
Justin Lin joins to review the May Trial of the Week “Efficacy of ketamine for initial control of acute agitation in the emergency department: a randomized study” published in the American Journal of Emergency Medicine in 2021.
We set the scene by discussing how this research idea started, review the classic agitation presentation at his institution, and highlight evidence comparing pharmacotherapy treatment options prior to this study. Then we dive into the Trial of the Week, discussing the study design and results. What was the biggest pushback from providers or the IRB? Any unique education strategies? Would results stay the same with increased IV push administration? What would the comparator arm be if this study was replicated today? Plus, the most challenging part of this project, Justin’s favorite agent, and so much more.
