Evaluation of the Use of Ketamine in Prehospital Seizure Management: A Retrospective Review of the ESO Database.

In this retrospective review of the ESO Data Collaborative, ketamine administration for seizure encounters without an airway procedure increased over the study period, both as a single agent and with another ASM. Most ketamine administrations were for adult patients in the south and in urban areas. The frequency of BRSE, the need for effective treatment, and the growth in ketamine use warrant prospective prehospital research to evaluate the value of ketamine in prehospital seizure management.
