  21. Ketamine • Clinical Pearls • IV: PO conversion = 1:1 • IV product is used orally • No consensus on a uniform ketamine protocol or dose • Reduce the long acting opioid dose by ~25 to 50% Pain Physician. 2013 May-Jun;16(3):231-49.

  26. Ketamine • Clinical Pearls • Most common side effects are psychomimetic • Test dose of 5 mg IV or 20 mg PO • Use benzodiazepine or butyrophenone to help prevent or manage • Cardiovascular side effects and respiratory depression are rare Pain Physician. 2013 May-Jun;16(3):231-49.
