Ketamine is an amazing drug for procedural sedation in the Emergency Department. Kids also look wild when they’re on it – some people call that look the “K-Hole.” Imagine a creepy industrial metal song about that… go ahead… I’ll wait.

Lyrics

Welcome to the K hole
Now you’re deep inside
Not responding to stimuli
But your eyes are open wide

We can reduce your fracture straight
no pain without a wait
side effects include emesis
laryngospasm, agitation when awake

[chorus] It’s the K-hole!
welcome to the K-hole
we’re gonna watch your na na na na nystagmus
It’s the K-hole
you’re sedated in the k-hole
we’re gonna bring you down K!
