Widely used, ketamine is a powerful analgesic and sedative with a favorable safety profile for EMS. Nevertheless, recent media stories have called the safe prehospital use of this medication into question.

In this webinar, learn about the indications for ketamine use by EMS and outcomes for patients who receive this medication in the prehospital setting. We’ll show you how to harness the power of data to monitor prehospital ketamine use as a framework for your agency to evaluate and communicate with key stakeholders about any prehospital clinical treatment.
