Low Dose Ketamine for Blunt Thoracic Trauma
Low Dose Ketamine for Blunt Thoracic Trauma: A Prospective Randomized Trial
Study Overview
Status
Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
Study Design: Randomized controlled double-blinded trial: Patients will then be randomized into one of two study groups. Both groups will receive a normal saline infusion for 48 hours of therapy. The treatment group will have ketamine added to their saline infusion via blinded pharmacy protocol to receive continuous infusion of ketamine at 0.1mg/kg/hour. The control group will receive only normal saline. Administration will occur via piggyback infusion in accordance with nursing policy.
Setting/Participants:
- North Memorial Health Hospital: patients on 5-South - Trauma Neuro Intensive Care Unit (TNICU) and 6-West - Trauma Floor
- 50 people will take part in this study. 25 study subjects will receive an infusion of ketamine and 25 will receive a saline infusion.
- Patients 18 years of age or older with 3 or more rib fractures admitted to North Memorial Health Hospital will be considered for the study.
Study Interventions and Measures:
- Ketamine low-dose infusion administered at 0.1 mg/kg/hr for 48 hours as an adjunct to standardized rib fracture management interventions as outlined in facility-approved Guidelines for Rib Fracture Management.
- The primary study outcome will be amount of narcotic used over the 48-hour study period (expressed as morphine mg equivalents).
- Secondary outcome measures will include: need for endotracheal intubation or non-invasive positive pressure ventilation, oxygen requirements, daily incentive spirometer values, daily forced vital capacity measurements, and subjective patient pain ratings.
- Other outcomes measured will be Intensive Care Unit stay, total hospital length of stay, and adverse medication effects.

Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Placebo Comparator: Placebo/Control
Pharmacist will check randomization schedule.
For placebo/control subject they will prepare an infusion bag of saline with no added medication.
The Study Drug Bag will be released with a label that includes: Name of Study, Study Subject #, Patient (Pt) Name, Pt Medical record number (MR#), Pt Date of birth (DOB), and INFUSION RATE.

Experimental: Low Dose Ketamine Infusion (LDKI)
Infusion Bag will receive 100 mg of ketamine (Ketamine Infusion Subject).
The Study Drug Bag will be released with a label that includes: Name of Study, Study Subject #, Patient Name, Pt MR#, Pt DOB, and INFUSION RATE.
(Note: infusion rate is 0.1 mg/kg/hr and concentration of standard ketamine infusion bag is 1 mg/mL.
That is, 100 mg of ketamine added to 100 mL saline).
