Randomized Controlled Trial
Bupivacaine/ketamine is superior to intra-articular ketamine analgesia following arthroscopic knee surgery.
Centroneuraxial and parenteral administration of ketamine has been shown to produce analgesia. However, this analgesia is limited by adverse effects. The purpose of this study was to determine whether ketamine alone or in combination with bupivacaine provides superior pain relief after surgery in patients undergoing knee arthroscopy. ⋯ We conclude that intra-articular bupivacaine-ketamine combination provides better pain relief than intra-articular ketamine after day care arthroscopic knee surgery.
