[Effect of ketamine anesthesia on patients with severe trauma at the pre-hospital stage on the course and outcome of shock].
Under study were remote results of treatment of patients with critical traumas followed by shock who were given prehospital Ketamine anesthesia. The data obtained were compared with remote results of treatment of patients who did not receive anesthesia at the prehospital stage or who were given narcotic analgetic drugs for anesthesia. Reliable data were obtained showing the course of trauma disease to be more favourable in a group of patients who were given Ketamine anesthesia at the prehospital stage.
