NCT03909607

Brief Summary

The investigators previous research study comparing the efficacy of intravenous ketamine to morphine showed ketamine to provide equivalent relief of moderate to severe acute pain in emergency department patients. A second study by the investigators showed that increasing the time of administration of the ketamine, from a push injection to a drip infusion, will minimize the adverse effects experienced by recipients of ketamine. The investigators now aim to see if nebulized subdissociative-dose ketamine administered as a single agent in a dose of 1.5 mg/kg via Breath-Actuated Nebulizers (BAN) over 5-15 minutes will provide a better pain relief in comparison to 1 mg/kg and 0.75 mg/kg doses or if the lower doses are equally as effective.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change in Pain Scores From Baseline to 30 Minutes

    Patients will be assessed via an 11 point Likert numeric rating scale at time medication is given (baseline) and 30 minutes later. The difference in pain scores will be assessed between the 3 groups. The numeric rating scale range is from 0 to 10 with 0 being no pain and 10 being very severe pain.
