Abstract:
Ketamine is mighty and short effective antalgic, advantaged in shock, asthma, etc. but it is restricted clinically because of serious side-effect. Today, low-dose ketamine(≤1 mg/kg) combined with opiates can enhance the efficacy of the opiates so that the dose of the opiates decrease relatively. The ketamine-opiates solution has enough stability and respiratory problems don't appear. So it is feasible that the combination of the two medicines can be used for patients with cervical spinal cord injury, who are susceptive to the respiratory distress and especially for the patients with depression.
