Dissociative and Analgesic Properties of Ketamine Are Independent.
Authors
Abstract
Ketamine is a dissociative anesthetic with analgesic properties. Ketamine's analgesic properties have been suggested to result from its dissociative properties. To the authors' knowledge, this postulate is unsubstantiated. The authors hypothesize that the dissociative and analgesic properties of ketamine are independent.
