Ketanest S (Esketamine Hydrochloride) 5 mg/mL

Ketanest S 5mg contains Esketamine, the S(+)-enantiomer of ketamine. It is a rapid-acting general anesthetic and powerful analgesic used for the induction and maintenance of anesthesia. Ketanest S is approximately twice as potent as racemic ketamine, allowing for effective anesthesia with a lower total dose and potentially faster recovery times.

Critical Safety Information & Precautions

• Emergence Reactions: Similar to racemic ketamine, patients may experience vivid dreams or confusion during the recovery phase. A quiet, low-stimulus environment is recommended to minimize these occurrences.

• Cardiovascular Effects: Esketamine can increase heart rate and blood pressure; it should be used with extreme caution in patients with uncontrolled hypertension or heart disease.

• Respiratory Protection: While protective airway reflexes are typically maintained, high doses or rapid IV administration can lead to respiratory depression.

• Intracranial Pressure: Caution is advised for patients with head injuries or conditions associated with increased intracranial pressure.
