NCT00221871
Lead Sponsor
University Health Network, Toronto
Brief Summary

Ketamine added to Lidocaine can increase duration of pain relief following intraveonous regional anesthesia (IVRA). The purpose of this dose response study is to determine the minimum effective dosage of intravenous Ketamine, added to 3 mg/kg of Lidocaine. We anticipate that one dosage will provide us with the proper balance between sufficient anesthesia and minimal side effects.
