Abstract
Ketamine has been known to the medical world for over 30 years, yet is not widely used to its full potential. It is often considered to be a ‘third world’ drug only. In light of a recent increase in interest in its use in the developed world, this review is for emergency physicians to use as a quick reference.Keywords
