Episode 49 – The RACKED Trial, with Dr. Barbic
Manage episode 372072713 series 3496059
Ketamine has been getting a lot of attention recently in the media. It's probably safe to say it’s had a bad year. We like ketamine. We felt bad it’s been having a rough year so we wanted to do something that would lift its spirits. Fortunately, Dr. David Barbic and his colleagues from Vancouver, BC published a wonderful, randomized trial comparing ketamine to a combination of haloperidol plus midazolam for undifferentiated agitation in the ED. This was the amazingly titled RACKED trial (Rapid Agitation Control with Ketamine in the ED). It has direct and important implications for EMS and is something all emergency providers should know about. Dr. Jarvis reviews the trial and then invites Dr. Barbic himself on the show to discuss this study.
