Abstract
Acute severe pain is the most common condition for emergency consultations. opioids are the cornerstone of the treatment. However, they expose to various adverse effects. We describe a case of a 22-year-old woman with severe pain to her right hand, after a domestic fall, successfully managed by nebulized ketamine. Ketamine administration via nebulized route might be an attractive and non-invasive alternative to opioids use in acute pain management.
