When skeletal muscle relaxation is unnecessary for a diagnostic or surgical operation, ketamine might be used alone as the anaesthetic of choice. Although ketamine hydrochloride is more effective for shorter procedures, it can be utilised for lengthier procedures if higher doses are administered.
- Ketamine is recommended for use in inducing anaesthesia before other general anaesthetics are given.
- Supplementing low-potency drugs like nitrous oxide with ketamine is recommended.
- Ketalar is one of many brand and other names for ketamine and people can buy ketamine online through internet.

Ketamine should be used during pregnancy with caution if the potential advantages justify the potential dangers. However, there are either no human research available or studies on both animals and humans have shown the same results. Neither the presence of ketamine in breast milk nor the effects of ketamine on nursing infants are currently recognised. Please see a physician.
Emergence reactions:
Roughly 12% of patients experience postanesthetic emergence symptoms such as dreamy state, vivid visuals, hallucinations, and/or delirium.
Intramuscular administration, use in patients over the age of 65, and in children younger than 15 years old have the lowest incidence rates (IM)
