Two doses of ketamine for preventing slow heart rate during eye surgery
Part of Eyes & vision, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether two doses of ketamine (a medicine given through a vein) can reduce a reflex that slows the heart during eye surgery. If you are having eye surgery that involves moving the eye muscles, you may be eligible.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You are scheduled for eye surgery that involves pulling on the eye muscles under general anesthesia.
- You are in good health (ASA I or II).
- You do not have a condition that makes ketamine unsafe (like uncontrolled high blood pressure or an allergy).
- You have no history of irregular heartbeat or eye conditions like glaucoma.
