No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The objectives of this study are first to determine if the power of suggestion will decrease the frequency and severity of emergence reactions after procedural sedation and analgesia with ketamine in the setting of the emergency department. Second, to determine if people dream about what they were thinking about when they were induced with ketamine.

Conditions

  • Analgesia

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Do we speak to them in a way that convinces them to have the dream

During induction, and depending on what group they are randomized to, the physician will speak to them about having a dream while on the drug

BEHAVIORAL

Speaking to them as a regualar person

During induction, if the patient is in group 1, the resident performing procedural sedation will remind the patient about what the patient wanted to dream and ask them to focus on that as the ketamine is being administered. If the patient is in group 2, the resident performing procedural sedation will give no specific instruction to the patient at this point.
