Research Topic

Investigated whether intra-operative ketamine treatment results in reduced post-operative opioid use and better pain outcomes in patients at risk of poor pain outcomes.

Patient Impact

Patients undergoing total joint replacement surgery potentially experience less postoperative pain, which could decrease their opioid consumption, reduce their hospital stay and increase their mobility.
