Low Dose Ketamine for Low Mood States: An Emergency Department Feasibility Study for Depressed Patients
The investigators hope to see if a commonly used drug such as ketamine could help depressed
ER patients feel better and improve their mood quickly.
Rapid-onset antidepressants could have important clinical impact if their benefits extended
to Emergency Department (ED) patients. We hope to explore the preliminary feasibility,
tolerability and efficacy of single-dose, intravenous (IV) ketamine in depressed ED patients
who presented with suicide ideation (SI).
