Comparison of N2O Inhalation and Ketamine IV Injection for Sedation in the Treatment of Laceration of Pediatric Patients. (PSA)
* Ketamine provides effective and relatively safe sedation analgesia for primary closure of lacerated pediatric patients * However, deep sedation and adverse effects suggest the opportunity to develop alternative strategies * We compared the efficacy and adverse effects of ketamine to those of N2O gas for analgesia and anxiolysis during primary repair of lacerated pediatric patients
