Impact of Sub-anesthetic Dose of Ketamine in the Prevention of Post Spinal Hypotension in Patients Undergoing Orthopedic Surgeries
This randomized, double-blind, controlled clinical trial investigates the efficacy of a sub-anesthetic dose of ketamine (0.5 mg/kg IV) in preventing post-spinal hypotension in patients undergoing elective orthopedic surgeries under spinal anesthesia. The study compares ketamine with placebo (normal saline) in terms of blood pressure stability and incidence of hypotensive episodes following spinal anesthesia.
