Abstract
Uterine pressure, and intensity and frequency of contractions have been measured in the pregnant uterus before and after the intravenous injection of ketamine HCl. The duration of pregnancy varied from 8 to 19 weeks. In every one of 12 patients, the uterine pressure was higher after ketamine HCl, indicating a more firm and contracted uterus. The intensity and the frequency of the contractions also increased. These effects lasted between 5 to 15 minutes after one injection of ketamine HCl.
