Activity Overview
Although ketamine was initially used as a general anesthetic, it has since emerged as a valuable option for managing both acute and chronic pain. This CE podcast will explore the role of intravenous (IV) ketamine across the perioperative setting, emergency medicine, and palliative care.
The American Society of Health-System Pharmacists is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education as a provider of continuing pharmacy education with Commendation.
These activities were planned to meet the educational needs of pharmacists practicing in emergency medicine, perioperative services, and palliative care.
