Ketamine to the EXTREME: Why these nursing care tips are IGNORED? (Don't make this mistake!)
Have you ever felt insecure about handling Ketamine in nursing? This video is the ultimate guide to mastering everything about this complex medication! We explore the mechanism of action of Ketamine (ketamine hydrochloride), its properties as a hypnotic and analgesic, and how dosage impacts its use in rapid surgical procedures. Ketamine acts as an antagonist of NMDA (N-methyl-D-aspartate) receptors, being administered intravenously or intramuscularly. Understand the importance of dilution in saline or glucose solution, especially in pediatrics, and the crucial care that prevents complications.
Concrete Facts and Insights:
Ketamine has a dual property: hypnosis and analgesia, with the dose being the determining factor for the desired effect (analgesia, light or heavy sedation).
Common ketamine is presented in 50 mg/ml ampoules of 2 ml (100 mg) or 10 ml (500 mg).
The onset of effects of intravenous ketamine is 30 to 60 seconds, peaking at 3 to 5 minutes, with a return to consciousness in 10 to 30 minutes.
Visual fluctuations and hallucinations (such as seeing insects) are common effects and may require concomitant midazolam or propofol.
Ketamine causes dissociative anesthesia, where the cerebral cortex is disconnected, but primitive reflexes and vital functions are preserved.
Essential care: monitor blood pressure (risk of hypertensive spikes) and heart rate (risk of tachycardia).
Preparation for complications: having an Ambu bag, vacuum, and suction catheters on hand is vital due to increased secretions and risk of respiratory depression.
* Slow administration (60 seconds) prevents apnea and a sudden increase in blood pressure. It is contraindicated in patients with head trauma due to the risk of increased intracranial pressure.

This channel is aimed at nursing professionals, whether they are nursing assistants, technicians, or nurses who are seeking growth and high performance in their work, improving their patient care every day.
The idea behind the Nasc Treinamentos Enfermagem channel was to present a proposal that could contribute to the construction of knowledge and learning of nursing procedures aimed at improving patient care, in order to provide humanized, safe, and comfortable care, with infection control and sepsis prevention. In short, nursing care with minimal complications for the client. We will discuss empirical nursing practice, but we will also discuss what is already scientific evidence in our profession, since nursing is a science, it is more than time for us to behave as such. In addition to practical nursing tips and the exchange of experiences, the channel also offers strategies applicable to public service exams for nursing careers.
