Review Meta AnalysisKetamine in the Management of Acute Pain: A Comprehensive Meta-Analysis.
This review was conducted to find the effectiveness and safety of ketamine in managing acute or sudden pain in the emergency scenarios. The research was carried out using databases such as PubMed, MEDLINE, Cochrane trial registries, and EMBASE from inception up to July 2022. The meta-analysis employed using the random-effects model and presented results as pooled standardised mean difference (SMD) and risk ratio (RR) alongside their 95% confidence intervals (CIs). ⋯ Pooled RR reflecting the requirement for supplementary analgaesics was 0.96 (95% CI: 0.65-1.41). The study found that ketamine's efficacy and safety were comparable or even superior to opioids in addressing sudden pain in the emergency contexts. Key Words: Ketamine, Meta-analysis, Opioids, Acute pain, Emergency.
