I am delighted to bring you this special episode of PEM Currents, the Pediatric Emergency Medicine podcast. It’s all about intranasal ketamine and its use for acute pain management in the Pediatric Emergency Department. I had the pleasure of interviewing Theresa Frey, Assistant Professor from the Division of Emergency Medicine at Cincinnati Children’s. Theresa is the 2016 winner of the Ken Graff Award from the AAP’s Section on Emergency Medicine. Funding from the award supported her study comparing intranasal fentanyl and intranasal ketamine in a randomized controlled trial for the treatment of acute, long bone fracture pain. We talk about the existing evidence, what’s to come in the future and how you can learn more about intranasal ketamine.
