Intravenous ketamine has been used as a pain treatment and for anesthesia management for decades, but Dr. Motov’s research shows that nebulized ketamine works a little differently. “Administration of nebulized ketamine has the potential to offer rapid, effective, titratable, and non-invasive analgesia to patients in pain in various clinical settings when ketamine can be used,” Dr. Motov shared. Eligible patients may even be able to manage their own pain using a breath-actuated nebulization.
