Q

Duration of action and possible side effects of Ketamine

A

The duration of action of Ketamine is approximately 10 to 20 minutes.

Notable side effects may include hypertension and tachycardia (usually mild and transient), laryngospasm (uncommon), emergence reactions, and vomiting. Side effects may be more common with rapid IV administration. Although respiratory complications are uncommon, clinicians using Ketamine must be prepared to manage airway obstruction.
