A 50 year-old African-American woman has a history of chronic pain that has been stable on multimodal daily pain medication. She presents to the emergency room complaining of vivid dreams and feeling weird, which developed about a day after she started taking Isoniazid for tuberculosis.
Her pain medication regimen likely includes ketamine, and coadministration of isoniazid would likely decrease the metabolism of ketamine as a result of competitive hepatic metabolism. This increased plasma concentration of ketamine could lead to new side effects.

| 2. CBV increase by 0.04 ml/100 g brain tissue/min
53
Robin Hood effect
In areas of focal ischemia, where vessels are already maximally dilated, the ability of hypoxia to induce vessel dilation is lost. The Robin Hood effect describes the fact that under this circumstance of lost vessel responsiveness to hypoxia in an ischemic region, intentional hyperventilation (by inducing vasoconstriction of surrounding normal vasculature) may transiently improve perfusion of the ischemic tissue bed (shunting blood flow to the “neediest” areas). However, the Robin Hood effect is not predictable. When focal ischemia is suspected, the usual approach is mild hyperventilation.
