Brief Summary

KETAMINE has been used for several years in emergency departments for analgesic purposes. Its ease of use and its analgesic effect have been demonstrated in several studies.

Nevertheless, this molecule is not devoid of side effects, in particular the very frequent occurrence of nausea, vomiting, anxiety, an overall feeling of discomfort and more rarely hallucinations, feelings of unreality, or tachycardia.

Recently, ESKETAMINE, used as an anesthetic but also in the USA as an antidepressant, has obtained its Marketing Authorization in the management of moderate to severe pain. ESKETAMINE corresponds to the S-(-)-KETAMINE enantiomer. Like KETAMINE, it acts as a non-competitive antagonist of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor but unlike KETAMINE does not interact, with the sigma receptors responsible for hallucinations and delusional symptoms. ESKETAMINE aimed at anesthetic is about twice as potent as KETAMINE and would also be eliminated more quickly.

Studies suggest that at equivalent doses, ESKETAMINE would be better tolerated than the KETAMINE usually used in emergency departments.

In this study, the tolerance of ESKETAMINE used at analgesic doses for treatment of moderate to severe pain will be assessed in an emergency departement

A wider usage of ESKETAMINE for analgesia purpose in emergency departments is expected, with a better tolerance for the patients compared to KETAMINE
