TARGET AUDIENCE

This course is designed for physicians, certified registered nurse anesthetists, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, registered nurses and other medical care providers who must maintain state-of-the-art knowledge of the anesthesia specialty or are impacted by it.

PROGRAM PURPOSE

Various therapeutic uses for ketamine have emerged and it is important for anesthesia providers to become abreast of the newest research into ketamine use and its clinical usefulness in treating a variety of conditions (e.g. mental health disorders, chronic pain, neuropathic pain, etc.). Anesthesia providers may also be hesitant to incorporate ketamine into their clinical practice and this course provides a framework for how to begin utilizing ketamine in a novel way.

Gain an understanding of the pharmacology of ketamine infusion therapy as it relates to treatment-resistant depression (TRD), and other mental health depression disorders

Provide an overview of the research that has been done with ketamine and pain disorders highlighting the main indications: CRPS, PLP, LDN, migraine, cluster headache, fibromyalgia, and TGN
