Cloridrato de Cetamina Biochimico injection is used alone or together with other medicines to produce loss of consciousness before and during surgery or a medical procedure. It belongs to the group of medicines called general anesthetics.
Cloridrato de Cetamina Biochimico is given only by or under the immediate supervision of a medical doctor trained to use it. If you will be receiving Cloridrato de Cetamina Biochimico during surgery, your doctor or anesthesiologist will give you the medicine and closely follow your progress.
Cloridrato de Cetamina Biochimico indications
An indication is a term used for the list of condition or symptom or illness for which the medicine is prescribed or used by the patient. For example, acetaminophen or paracetamol is used for fever by the patient, or the doctor prescribes it for a headache or body pains. Now fever, headache and body pains are the indications of paracetamol. A patient should be aware of the indications of medications used for common conditions because they can be taken over the counter in the pharmacy meaning without prescription by the Physician.

Off Label Uses
Agitation, severe
Data from a limited number of patients in open-label, prospective clinical trials suggest that Cloridrato de Cetamina Biochimico may be beneficial for the treatment of severe agitation and violent behavior. However, the dosage range varies considerably and an optimal dosage has not been established. Additional data is necessary to further define the role of Cloridrato de Cetamina Biochimico in this condition. Since there is limited data on the safety and efficacy of Cloridrato de Cetamina Biochimico in this setting, the Neurocritical Care Society recommends reservation of Cloridrato de Cetamina Biochimico for patients who do not respond to more frequently recommended antiepileptic drug treatment.
Cloridrato de Cetamina Biochimico description
Cloridrato de Cetamina Biochimico contains Ketamine HCl equivalent to Cloridrato de Cetamina Biochimico base per mL. It also contains benzethonium chloride and water for injection. Additionally, the 10-mg/mL vial also contains sodium chloride.
Cloridrato de Cetamina Biochimico dosage
Note: Barbiturates and Cloridrato de Cetamina Biochimico hydrochloride, being chemically incompatible because of precipitate formation, should not be injected from the same syringe.
If the Cloridrato de Cetamina Biochimico hydrochloride dose is augmented with diazepam, the two drugs must be given separately. Do not mix Cloridrato de Cetamina Biochimico hydrochloride and diazepam in syringe or infusion flask. For additional information on the use of diazepam, refer to the WARNINGS and DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Sections of the diazepam insert.
Preoperative Preparations
While vomiting has been reported following Cloridrato de Cetamina Biochimico hydrochloride administration, some airway protection may be afforded because of active laryngeal-pharyngeal reflexes. However, since aspiration may occur with Cloridrato de Cetamina Biochimico hydrochloride and since protective reflexes may also be diminished by supplementary anesthetics and muscle relaxants, the possibility of aspiration must be considered. Cloridrato de Cetamina Biochimico hydrochloride is recommended for use in the patient whose stomach is not empty when, in the judgment of the practitioner, the benefits of the drug outweigh the possible risks.
Atropine, scopolamine, or another drying agent should be given at an appropriate interval prior to induction.
Onset And Duration
Because of rapid induction following the initial intravenous injection, the patient should be in a supported position during administration.
The onset of action of Cloridrato de Cetamina Biochimico hydrochloride is rapid; an intravenous dose of 2 mg/kg (1 mg/lb) of body weight usually produces surgical anesthesia within 30 seconds after injection, with the anesthetic effect usually lasting five to ten minutes. If a longer effect is desired, additional increments can be administered intravenously or intramuscularly to maintain anesthesia without producing significant cumulative effects.
Intramuscular doses, in a range of 9 to 13 mg/kg (4 to 6 mg/lb) usually produce surgical anesthesia within 3 to 4 minutes following injection, with the anesthetic effect usually lasting 12 to 25 minutes.
Dosage
As with other general anesthetic agents, the individual response to Cloridrato de Cetamina Biochimico hydrochloride is somewhat varied depending on the dose, route of administration, and age of patient, so that dosage recommendation cannot be absolutely fixed. The drug should be titrated against the patient's requirements.
Induction
Intravenous Route
The initial dose of Cloridrato de Cetamina Biochimico hydrochloride administered intravenously may range from 1 mg/kg to 4.5 mg/kg (0.5 to 2 mg/lb). The average amount required to produce five to ten minutes of surgical anesthesia has been 2 mg/kg (1 mg/lb).
Alternatively, in adult patients an induction dose of 1 mg to 2 mg/kg intravenous Cloridrato de Cetamina Biochimico at a rate of 0.5 mg/kg/min may be used for induction of anesthesia. In addition, diazepam in 2 mg to 5 mg doses, administered in a separate syringe over 60 seconds, may be used. In most cases, 15 mg of intravenous diazepam or less will suffice. The incidence of psychological manifestations during emergence, particularly dream-like observations and emergence delirium, may be reduced by this induction dosage program.
Note: The 100 mg/mL concentration of Cloridrato de Cetamina Biochimico hydrochloride should not be injected intravenously without proper dilution. It is recommended the drug be diluted with an equal volume of either Sterile Water for injection, USP, Normal Saline, or 5% Dextrose in Water.
Rate of Administration
It is recommended that Cloridrato de Cetamina Biochimico hydrochloride be administered slowly (over a period of 60 seconds). More rapid administration may result in respiratory depression and enhanced pressor response.
Intramuscular Route
The initial dose of Cloridrato de Cetamina Biochimico hydrochloride administered intramuscularly may range from 6.5 to 13 mg/kg (3 to 6 mg/lb). A dose of 10 mg/kg (5 mg/lb) will usually produce 12 to 25 minutes of surgical anesthesia.
Maintenance Of Anesthesia
The maintenance dose should be adjusted according to the patient's anesthetic needs and whether an additional anesthetic agent is employed.
Increments of one-half to the full induction dose may be repeated as needed for maintenance of anesthesia. However, it should be noted that purposeless and tonic-clonic movements of extremities may occur during the course of anesthesia. These movements do not imply a light plane and are not indicative of the need for additional doses of the anesthetic.
It should be recognized that the larger the total dose of Cloridrato de Cetamina Biochimico hydrochloride administered, the longer will be the time to complete recovery.
Adult patients induced with Cloridrato de Cetamina Biochimico hydrochloride augmented with intravenous diazepam may be maintained on Cloridrato de Cetamina Biochimico hydrochloride given by slow microdrip infusion technique at a dose of 0.1 to 0.5 mg/minute, augmented with diazepam 2 to 5 mg administered intravenously as needed. In many cases 20 mg or less of intravenous diazepam total for combined induction and maintenance will suffice. However, slightly more diazepam may be required depending on the nature and duration of the operation, physical status of the patient, and other factors. The incidence of psychological manifestations during emergence, particularly dream-like observations and emergence delirium, may be reduced by this maintenance dosage program.
Dilution
To prepare a dilute solution containing 1 mg of Cloridrato de Cetamina Biochimico per mL, aseptically transfer 10 mL from a 50 mg per mL vial or 5 mL from a 100 mg per mL vial to 500 mL of 5% Dextrose Injection, USP or Sodium Chloride (0.9%) Injection, USP (Normal Saline) and mix well. The resultant solution will contain 1 mg of Cloridrato de Cetamina Biochimico per mL.
The fluid requirements of the patient and duration of anesthesia must be considered when selecting the appropriate dilution of Cloridrato de Cetamina Biochimico hydrochloride injection. If fluid restriction is required, Cloridrato de Cetamina Biochimico hydrochloride injection can be added to a 250 mL infusion as described above to provide a Cloridrato de Cetamina Biochimico hydrochloride concentration of 2 mg/mL. Cloridrato de Cetamina Biochimico hydrochloride injection 10 mg/mL vials are not recommended for dilution.
Supplementary Agents
Cloridrato de Cetamina Biochimico hydrochloride is clinically compatible with the commonly used general and local anesthetic agents when an adequate respiratory exchange is maintained.
The regimen of a reduced dose of Cloridrato de Cetamina Biochimico hydrochloride supplemented with diazepam can be used to produce balanced anesthesia by combination with other agents such as nitrous oxide and oxygen.
