Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical TrialPre-emptive epidural ketamine or S(+)-ketamine in post-incisional pain in dogs: a comparative study.
To compare the pre-emptive analgesic effects of epidural ketamine or S(+)-ketamine on post-incisional hyperalgesia. ⋯ Although anesthetic and analgesic potency of S(+) ketamine is twice that of ketamine, the racemic form is seemingly better for post-incisional hyperalgesia.
