Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Changes in baseline HDRS Score

    The Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS) baseline score will be measured 20 minutes before ketamine infusion. After 40 minutes post-infusion, a second HDRS score will be obtained.

    20 minutes before and 40 minutes after ketamine infusion.

  • Daily change in HDRS post-ketamine infusion.

    On a daily basis, from day 1-7 post-ketamine infusion, changes in HDRS score will be measured during the daily psychiatric evaluation.

    1,2,3,4,5,6 and 7. Days after ketamine infusion

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Baseline blood pressure (BP).

    20 minutes before ketamine infusion.

  • Changes from baseline in blood pressure (BP)

    every 5 minutes in a 300 minutes period

Study Arms (2)
