Effects of Ketamine on Cardiovascular and Respiratory Responses to a Moderate 40 Percent Hemorrhage in Rats
Abstract
Currently, ketamine is recommended for analgesic use on the battlefield for Soldiers with severe hemorrhage. However, there have been few human or animal studies to support such use. Because of the dearth of controlled experimental evidence for use of ketamine as an analgesic during hypovolemia, the following study was conducted to determine effects of an intravascular analgesic dose of ketamine on cardiovascular and respiratory responses to a 40% hemorrhage in conscious rats.
