    AbstractI am a clinical nurse specialist in a busy trauma center. Increasingly, we are using ketamine for procedures and pain management in adults. I thought ketamine was appropriate only for pediatric patients. Why has ketamine emerged again for adults? Also, we have seen a few cases of ketamine abuse over the past 3 months. Is ketamine abuse becoming more prevalent?
