Abstract
We read with fascination the account of an emergency physician having experienced a severe adverse reaction after receiving intravenous (IV) ketamine for procedural sedation (1). We commend Dr Simon for sharing her traumatic episode. Her account serves as a vivid reminder that ketamine, despite popularity among emergency medicine providers, carries a unique toxicity profile. Nonetheless, we contend that the title of the commentary may be misleading and create undue stigmatization against a tool with a record of dependability and cardiorespiratory safety for procedural sedation (2).
