Anesthesia and emergency medicine have a lot in common.. As an anesthetist I enjoyed that very much, thx

[@mariburn6515]

I recently witnessed a patient in PACU go into laryngospasm post ketamine administration by the CRNA. I never heard of ketamine causing laryngospasm. As you have mentioned it's very rare. Very informative video. Thanks for sharing.

The only time I have ever seen this happen was in a Pediatric ED where it was given too rapidly. IV etomidate and succinylcholine was pushed, an LMA was placed, and the patient was bagged until the ketamine wore off (~15 minutes). Wasn’t a big deal because the situation was immediately dealt with and the peds ED attending in the room immediately recognized the issue.

​​@@user-iz7kf1te5ywhat signs led to a rapid recognition/diagnosis? Inspiratory stridor? I take it that the saturation had not started dipping at that point..
