Randomized Controlled Trial

A randomized controlled trial was conducted to study the use of subcutaneous ketamine for the management of postoperative pain in patients undergoing major surgery in Kigali, Rwanda. ⋯ Results of this study in Kigali, Rwanda showed that subcutaneous administration of ketamine 1 mg·kg-1 twice daily, in addition to standard postoperative care, produced a small improvement in postoperative pain but resulted in more minor side effects TRIAL REGISTRATION: www.clinicaltrials.gov (NCT02514122). Registered 31 July 2015.
