“…A relative sparing of effects on protective airway reflexes makes ketamine useful, especially for non-fasting procedures [20]. The increase in blood pressure and pulse associated with ketamine administration maintains the cardiac output; however, in critically ill patients having depleted catecholamine, ketamine can lead to marked hypotension or bradycardia and even cardiac arrest [21].…”

“…The tool was intended to present a taxonomy of sedation outcomes which would be objective and reproducible. By adopting this taxonomy worldwide, particularly valuable in areas with neither organized sedation systems nor prior means of collecting and reporting their own outcomes, all sedation providers now have a means of tracking and sharing their outcomes through the AE sedation reporting tool database [26,29,31,[34][35][36]. This tool is a repository of sedation-related data inputted from all sedation providers worldwide and is a means to report on sedation demographics and outcomes, with the objective of presenting a hierarchical structure to predict the occurrence, risk, and outcome of adverse events ( Figure 1, Table 1, Table 2).…”

“…Part of this issue is the immense variability in sedation-related adverse event reporting. The ‘Adverse Events Sedation Reporting Tool’ has recently been developed by the World Society of Intravenous Anaesthesia36 and has already been successfully trialled 37 38. This tool includes a description of the adverse event and its severity, the interventions performed and the outcome.…”
