Eligibility Criteria

1 Year - 18 Years (Child, Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Children 1-18 years of age.
  • American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) I or II
  • Non-operative fracture requiring reduction
  • Body weight less than or equal to 25 kg as measured by standard weighing scale

Exclusion Criteria:

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm 2

Arm Type

Active Comparator

Experimental

Arm Label

Intravenous ketamine

Intranasal ketamine

Arm Description

Participants randomized to IV ketamine will be receive IV ketamine and Intranasal normal saline.

Participants randomized to Intranasal Ketamine group will receive Intranasal ketamine and IV normal saline.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Number of Participants Who Achieved Adequate Sedation.
Determine if IN ketamine provides non-inferior sedation to IV ketamine as defined by a Modified Ramsay Sedation score of ≥ 4. Modified Ramsay Sedation scale is used to evaluate levels of sedation. The scale range is from 0 to 6 with a higher score indicated deeper levels of sedation. At levels of 4 or greater is set to be satisfactory for deep sedation.
Percentage of Adequately Sedated Participants Successfully Completing the Procedure Without Requiring Rescue Medications.
Rescue medication is defined as requiring additional doses of Ketamine to maintain adequate sedation. Successful procedure completion will be define as completing the procedure with only the induction dose and without requiring rescue medications.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Percentage of Participants With Non-serious Adverse Events.
Non-serious adverse events include allergic reaction, vomiting, emergence agitation, and oxygen desaturations.
Duration of Sedation Using Modified Ramsay Sedation Scale.
Modified Ramsay Sedation scale is used to evaluate levels of sedation. The scale range is from 0 to 6 with a higher score indicated deeper levels of sedation. At levels of 2 or less is set to be satisfactory for discharge from sedation.
Duration of Emergency Department Stay.
Measured from time of arrival to emergency department to discharge order.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This a randomized clinical trial involving children with non-operative fractures presenting the emergency department randomized either to intranasal or intravenous ketamine.
Detailed Description
The purpose of this study is to determine if Intranasal Ketamine (INK) is efficacious for Procedural Sedation and Analgesia (PSA) when compared to Intravenous Ketamine (IVK) in children with non-operative fractures. The primary aim is to determine if INK provides non-inferior sedation to IVK as defined by a Modified Ramsay Sedation score of ≥ 4 and also to compare the proportion of successful procedure between two treatment groups. The secondary aim is to compare proportion of adverse events and compare duration of sedation and length of emergency department (ED) stay between treatment groups.
