The Effect of Low-dose Ketamine on Post-caesarean Delivery Analgesia after Spinal Anesthesia

Abstract: BackgroundKetamine, an N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonist, might play a role in postoperative analgesia, but its effect on postoperative pain after caesarean section varies with study design. We investigated whether the preemptive administration of low-dose intravenous ketamine decreases postoperative opioid requirement and postoperative pain in parturients receiving intravenous fentanyl with patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) following caesarean section.MethodsSpinal anesthesia was performed in 40 partu… Show more

“…A total of eight studies involving evaluation of analgesic efficacy of administration of intravenous ketamine in parturient undergoing CS were identified [Table 5]. [4546474849505152] Most of the trials (6 out of 8) used spinal anaesthesia for CS. The timing and the dose of ketamine administered were observed to be variable.…”

“…The timing and the dose of ketamine administered were observed to be variable. In two studies where general anaesthesia was used, ketamine was given before induction of anaesthesia[5052] whereas in three trials, involving spinal anaesthesia ketamine was administered immediately after subarachnoid block[444748] while in three it was given after delivery of the baby. [464951] Continuous infusion of ketamine was employed in two studies[4749] and in the remaining trials, bolus doses of ketamine varying from 1 to 0.15 mg/kg were used.…”
