Misuse of Ketamine: Report of two Cases

Israel Kayode Kolawole

Abstract

Two patients were referred to our hospital from different private hospitals, within a period of 2-months, following complications arising from ketamine anaesthesia. Our assessment revealed obvious cases of misuse of ketamine hydrochloride as a sole anaesthetic. The cases are presented to highlight various forms of misuse of ketamine in the hands of non-anaesthetists. (Nig J Surg Res 2001; 3: 175 – 180) KEY WORDS: Ketamine, Misuse
