4 Ketamine literature review September 2012 Dr Anthony Thompson
5 Ketamine Revision Class general anaesthetic Indications anaesthesia, pain unresponsive to standard treatments Contraindications any situation where raised Blood Pressure/Intracranial pressure is hazardous. Acute Porphyria
6 Pharmacology 1 NMDA receptor channel complex Involved in developing central sensitisation of dorsal horn neurones which transmit pain signals At rest the channel is blocked by Magnesium ions
7 Pharmacology 2 But if prolonged stimulus and excitation the channel unblocks and Calcium moves into the cell This causes neuronal hyper excitability and reduction on opioid responsiveness, hyperalgesia and allodynia
8 Pharmacology 3 KETAMINE is the most potent NMDA receptor channel blocker available clinically Binds to the channel sites when open and activated Antagonises the hyper excitation state
9 Pharmacology 4 Multiple receptor activities Interacts with other calcium, sodium channels Dopamine receptors, cholinergic transmission, noradrenergic and serotonergic re-uptake and opioid-like and antiinflammatory effects
10 Pharmacology 5 Commercially available Ketamine is equal enantiomers of S(+) and R(-) forms of the drug Bioavailability - parenterally 93%, orally 17% Oral Ketamine Norketamine (equipotent)
11 Pharmacokinetics Bioavailability 93% intramuscular (im), 45% nasal, 30% sublingual, 30% PR, 20% oral (PO) Onset 5min im, min s/c, 30 min PO t ½ h im, 3h PO, Duration 30min-2h im, 4-6h PO
12 Cautions Psychiatric disorder, epilepsy, glaucoma, hypertension, cardiac failure, history of strokes Plasma concentration raised by diazepam, CYP3A4 inhibitors e.g. clarithromycin, ketoconazole
13 Undesirable effects Dose related Psychomimetic euphoria, dysphasia, blunted affect, vivid dreams and nightmares, inattention, memory, illusions, hallucinations, altered body image Delirium, dizziness, diplopia, blurred vision, nystagmus, hearing, HYPERTENSION, tachycardia, hyper salivation, nausea and vomiting, injection site erythema, URINARY TRACT TOXICITY
14 Urinary tract toxicity 1 Unclear of cause, direct irritation or metabolites Frequency, urgency, urge incontinence, dysuria, haematuria Interstitial cystitis, detrusor over activity, reduced bladder capacity, vesico-ureteric reflux, hydronephrosis, papillary necrosis, renal impairment
15 Urinary tract toxicity 2 If symptoms of urinary tract infection and NO evidence of bacterial infection, consider discontinuing and seeking Urology review Symptoms settle in a few weeks, gradual reduction in dose ideally to prevent pain escalation
16 The Literature Review
17 Cochrane Collaboration 2009 Bell, Eccleston and Kalso 2009 To determine the effectiveness of ketamine as an adjuvant to opioids in the treatment of cancer pain Medline, embase, cancerlit, Cochrane library Selection criteria adult, cancer, on opioid, received ketamine or placebo/active control
18 Cochrane Collaboration 2009 Data 4 RCTs (2 excluded, poor design) and 32 case studies Results 2 trials included, small numbers of patients Conclusion More RCTS needed, current evidence insufficient
19 Results 2 studies Mercandante 2000, Italy, Placebo, 3 hour trial Yang 1996, Taiwan, Morphine active control Both cross over trials
20 Mercandante patients 7 men 3 women years Pain unrelieved by morphine Diagnosed with neuropathic pain
21 Mercandante doses ketamine IV bolus 0.25mg/kg and 0.5mg/kg as adjuvant vs. normal saline 2 day washout between treatments No rescue doses described
22 Outcomes Mercandante 2000 Pain score at 30, 60, 90, 120, 180 minutes and adverse effects Pain score 0-10
23 Effectiveness 0.25mg/kg dose Mercandante 2000 Pain score reduced after 30 mins vs. normal saline After 60 mins effect lessened but some benefit even after 180 mins noted
24 0.5mg/kg dose Mercandante 2000 Significant reduction at 30 mins and maintained throughout the 180 mins
25 Yang hospital patients 10 men 10 women Cancer pain effectively treated with morphine
26 Yang 1996 Assessed intrathecal 1mg/kg ketamine as adjuvant vs. morphine alone Morphine dose titrated until stable 48 hours then randomly crossed over to morphine PLUS Ketamine or continued on morphine (control) alone, administered twice daily intrathecally No washout period Rescue doses available Morphine 5mg im
27 Yang 1996 Outcomes Patient pain score 0-10 Pain frequency Morphine dose Total morphine dose Total rescue doses Frequency of intrathecal titration
28 Yang 1996 Co-administration of ketamine reduced the dose of morphine needed Was as effective as intrathecal morphine alone
29 Adverse effects No withdrawals in either study Hallucinations commonest treated with diazepam Mild effects including light flashes, buzzing in head, insobriety, drowsy, nausea and vomiting, dry mouth, confusion
30 Conclusions No evidence based conclusion due to small numbers
31 32 case studies Opioid AND ketamine 246 patients Other Reports Various routes used po,im,s/c,iv,s/c infusion, epidural, intrathecal Various doses 1mg/kg/day s/c infusion to 600mg/day iv, 67.2mg/day intrathecal Various time scales 4 hours to 12 months
32 Case Studies Most used morphine, some fentanyl, hydromorphone, diamorphine or alone 16 reports described dramatic relief of refractory cancer pain Commonest adverse effects sedation and hallucinations One had sedation settling with opioid reduction Only 2 studies out of 32 had patient withdrawal
33 Case studies Inflamed infusion sites, nystagmus, hyperalgesia post cessation Post mortem myelopathy post intrathecal infusion with vasculitis Lloyd Williams s/c infusion sites, 0.1% hydrocortisone cream to maintain sites

35 Dose and Use Therapeutic Review Advise long term ketamine only if Burst has failed Due to renal tract concerns
36 50mg/5ml Co-administration Oral Ketamine 10-25mg TDS/QDS and PRN Titrate up in steps to 100mg QDS Consider dose reduction if drowsy/psychomimetic issues Can be opioid sparing effect
37 Oral Ketamine Some centres attempt withdrawal over several weeks Benefit can persist with out ketamine for weeks/months
38 Maximal dilution 0.9% saline 100mg/24 hrs. Burst Ketamine If not effective increase to 300mg/24 hrs. If not effective again, increase to 500 mg/24 hrs. Stop 3 days after last dose increment Prophylactic use
39 Other Routes Sublingual (s/l) Subcutaneous stats (s/c) Intravenous (IV) Continuous IV Infusion (CIVI)

109 Ketamine Standards and Guidelines Dr Sarah Fradsham
110 General principles in the Use of Ketamine
111 Introduction Ketamine is a drug used for the induction and maintenance of general anaesthesia Ketamine has a role in treatment of pain unresponsive to standard treatments (e.g. neuropathic, inflammatory, ischaemic, procedural pains) 1,2,3 Ketamine is a dissociative anaesthetic with analgesic properties at sub-anaesthetic doses 3,5
112 The NMDA receptor channel is involved with sensitisation of the dorsal horn neurones which transmit pain signals. Prolonged stimulation (pain) causes hyper excitability and reduced opioid responsiveness, hyperalgesia and allodynia 4.
113 Ketamine is a potent NMDA receptor channel blocker, as well as other actions on the following channels calcium, sodium, dopamine, cholinergic, noradrenergic, serotonergic reuptake and opioid-like effects and anti-inflammatory effects 6,7
114 Ketamine has been used as an analgesic in many clinical settings including post-operative, chronic non-cancer pain, cancer pain, and procedural pain (e.g. burns dressings) and painful mucositis 8,9. in cancer pain, ketamine has been used mainly ORALLY (PO) or SUBCUTANEOUSLY (CSCI)
115 Subcutaneous use can be Burst (see below) or more prolonged subcutaneous use. Side effects are dose related. 40% occurrence with CSCI, less so with PO. Ketamine abuse is common on the street and associated with adverse media attention as a result.
116 Ketamine can cause urinary tract problems, tachycardia, hypertension and intracranial hypertension and Psychomimetic side effects e.g. vivid dreams, hallucinations, altered body image and mood. These psychomimetic side effects can be managed with Midazolam and/or haloperidol. Co-administration is recommended 11,12 (see manufacturers PI)
117 Ketamine undergoes extensive first pass metabolism Mainly to Norketamine As an analgesic it is equipotent to parenteral ketamine 10
118 Less than 10% is excreted unchanged, half in the faeces and half renally. Norketamine is renally excreted and long term use leads to hepatic enzyme induction and enhanced ketamine metabolism.
119 Formulations and Supply Oral solution Made to order Sugar free Made to order Martindale e.g 50mg/5ml (other strengths are avaliable) Different flavours Unlicensed
120 Preparation of oral Ketamine:Pharmacy Guidelines Use 100mg/ml 10ml vials (cheapest) To prepare 100ml 50mg/5ml oral solution 10ml vial of ketamine 100mg/ml 90ml purified water Refrigerate Use within a week of manufacture Not recommended to do in ward environment
121 Injectable preparations Pfizer 10mg/ml 20ml ampoule 50mg/ml 10ml ampoule 100mg/ml 10ml ampoule Off label
122 Guidelines
123 Guidelines Ketamine for pain control should be initiated by a Palliative care physician experienced in the use of ketamine. This is usually done in a specialist palliative care inpatient unit. [Level 4] The majority of the evidence for the use of ketamine for pain control supports the use of burst ketamine. This is therefore recommended as first line treatment. Long term ketamine is only recommended if burst ketamine has failed due to concerns regarding urinary tract toxicity. [Level 4] Suggested doses and regimes are described in Table 1.
124 Table 1- Doses and Regimens [Level 4]
125 Guidelines cont Compatibility in syringe drivers [Level2] For subcutaneous regimens it is recommended that ketamine is diluted with sodium chloride 0.9%. When giving subcutaneous ketamine via a syringe driver it is compatible with morphine plus additional drugs when mixed with sodium chloride 0.9% 13. Box A describes compatibility data for drug mixtures containing ketamine.
126 Box A. Compatibility data
127 Guidelines- Monitoring Ketamine can cause tachycardia and intracranial hypertension. Due to this the blood pressure and pulse rate should be checked prior to the commencement of ketamine and twice daily during the dose titration phase or throughout the duration of burst ketamine. [Level 4] If the pulse rate rises above 20bpm from baseline or above 100bpm or the the blood pressure rises by 20mmHg on consecutive readings, a dose reduction should be considered. If the pulse rate or blood pressure does not return to baseline readings with a dose reduction then ketamine should be discontinued. [Level 4]
128 Guidelines- Monitoring As ketamine has an opiate sparing effect, patients should be monitored for signs of opiate toxicity. During the dose titration phase this should include twice daily monitoring of respiratory rate along with blood pressure and pulse rate as described above. The patients conscious level should also be monitored and if there is any concern regarding opiate toxicity the patient should be reviewed by a clinician and consideration of a dose reduction of the regular opiates should be made. [Level 4] ( see opiate reduction below)
129 Guidelines- Monitoring To assess the effectiveness of ketamine patients should have pain scores recorded prior to the commencement of ketamine and twice daily during the dose titration phase. This will help to establish whether further incremental increases in the doses are needed. Pain scores should also be recorded at follow up reviews for patients on long term ketamine or those that have received burst ketamine to establish ongoing effectiveness of pain control. [Level 4] For those patients maintained on long term ketamine reassessment should be carried out by a palliative care specialist monthly or sooner depending on symptoms or clinical need. [Level 4]
130 Guidelines- Opioid reduction As ketamine has an opiate sparing effect a dose reduction of 25% should be considered in those patients commencing parenteral or oral ketamine or if patients develop signs of opiate toxicity. [Level 4] All units commencing ketamine should ensure naloxone is available for use in the case of respiratory depression associated with opiate overdose/ toxicity. [Level 4] Use of ketamine is not recommended in patients on transdermal opioids due to the risk of opiate toxicity. In these patients an opiate conversion should be considered prior to commencing ketamine. [Level 4]
131 Guidelines- Conversions [Level 4] Evidence regarding conversions is limited however, when converting from PO ketamine to Subcutaneous ketamine for use in a CSCI, a conversion of 1:1 is suggested PO ketamine undergoes extensive first pass hepatic metabolism to norketamine which provides the main analgesic effect. The maximum blood concentration of norketamine is greater after PO administration than after parenteral administration therefore when converting from SC:PO a conversion of 3:1 is suggested. In both cases, there should be the provision for close monitoring and ability to alter the dose as necessary.
132 Guidelines- Adjuvant medications Ketamine can cause undesirable psychomimetic effects such as hallucinations, euphoria, vivid dreams which can be distressing to patients. It is therefore suggested that ketamine is given concurrently with midazolam or haloperidol to control any undesirable effects. [Level 4] Suggested doses include Haloperidol 2mg-5mg po nocte or 2mg-5mg via CSCI over 24hrs or Midazolam 5mg-10mg via CSCI. [Level 4]
133 Guidelines- Urinary Toxicity Ketamine has been linked to urinary tract toxicity including interstitial cystitis, papillary necrosis and renal impairment. If a patient develops symptoms of a urinary tract infection and there is NO evidence of bacterial infection consider discontinuing the ketamine. The patient may require a urology review. [Level 4]
134 Guidelines- Discharge Patients discharged on ketamine should be followed up by a specialist palliative care clinician within 4 weeks to review pain control. [Level 4] Dose alterations of ketamine should be undertaken in a specialist inpatient unit or after specialist palliative care outpatient review. [Level 4] When a patient is discharged on ketamine standardised information should be give to the patients, GP and community pharmacist. [Level 4]
135 Guidelines Discharge Units should liaise with the patients GP and community pharmacy prior to discharge to confirm future supplies of ketamine. [Level 4] Patients on oral ketamine should be aware that they need to request a repeat prescription at least 7 days in advance of their own supply running out. [Level 4] Units should consider the use of a ketamine card to be given to patients on discharge to inform other health professionals that the patient is on ketamine. [Level 4]
136 Standards
137 Standards The decision to commence ketamine, the indication and regimen to be used should be clearly documented in the patient s case notes. [Grade D] Prior to commencing ketamine, the patient s heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate and pain score should be recorded. These should be rechecked twice daily until ketamine is discontinued or the titration is complete. [Grade D] If administering ketamine via a subcutaneous infusion, then sodium chloride 0.9% should be used for dilution. [Grade D] Ketamine should always be prescribed in milligrams (mg). [Grade D]
138 Standards If a patient is discharged on ketamine, the discharge letter should include a named contact and telephone number for further advice. [Grade D] For patients who are discharged on ketamine, units should have standardised information to give to the patient, their GP and community pharmacist. [Grade D] Patients discharged on ketamine (oral or subcutaneous) should have at least monthly follow-up with a Palliative Medicine clinician experienced in the use of ketamine. [Grade D] Specialist Palliative Care units should have a policy for the use of ketamine as an analgesic. [Grade D]
