Ketamine
Recent data suggests that ketamine, administered intravenously, could be the most significant breakthrough in antidepressant treatment in decades.
Our Keta-ker treatment aims to provide relief and offer hope to those suffering from treatment-resistant conditions.
1. Rapid Action
Unlike many other antidepressants that may take weeks or even months to show effectiveness, intravenous ketamine can have rapid antidepressant effects. Some studies have demonstrated that the antidepressant effects of ketamine can be evident within hours after administration, making it an attractive option for those in need of rapid relief from depressive symptoms, such as in cases of severe or suicidal depression.
2. Long-lasting Effect
Although the effects of intravenous ketamine can be rapid, they can also be long-lasting. Some studies have shown that the antidepressant effects of ketamine can persist for days or even weeks after a single administration, which could mean that less frequent administration may be required compared to other antidepressant treatments.
3. Effect on Suicidal Symptoms
Intravenous ketamine has also shown a rapid effect in reducing suicidal symptoms in patients with severe or treatment-resistant depression. This is particularly important as depression may be associated with an increased risk of suicidal ideation, and ketamine could be a useful treatment option to address this concerning symptomatology.
4. Action on Different Neurotransmitter Systems
Ketamine is believed to exert its antidepressant effect by acting on different neurotransmitter systems, including the glutamatergic system and the monoaminergic neurotransmitter system, such as serotonin and norepinephrine. This sets it apart from other antidepressants that often focus primarily on a particular neurotransmitter system, which could explain its rapid action and long-lasting effect.
5. Tolerance
Indeed, intravenous ketamine has been generally considered well-tolerated in clinical studies, although temporary side effects such as dissociation, increased blood pressure, heart rate, and nausea may occur. However, these effects are usually transient and well-controlled during supervised administration.
OUR TREATMENT
To determine if it is the appropriate treatment, we conduct a mental health examination through questionnaires and an evaluation by a psychiatrist.
We also perform a general medical evaluation and a physical examination by anesthesiology to ensure that there are no impediments to receiving Ketamine treatment.
We ensure that there are no patients who want to use Ketamine recreationally or use it irresponsibly. Your safety is our top priority.
After the initial evaluation, we will schedule your infusion sessions. Before each infusion, we will need to verify that you come with a companion to leave the clinic, as you will not be able to drive for the next few hours until the effects of Ketamine wear off. On the day of the infusion, you will be taken to an exclusive infusion area. While we set up the IV, one of our anesthesiologists will conduct a pre-assessment and check your vital signs. During the procedure, you will be in a comfortable chair throughout the entire 45-minute infusion sessions.
We will closely monitor you throughout the entire intravenous infusion process. You will be connected to our monitors, and our anesthesia team will ensure your safety until the infusion is completed. After the procedure, you will remain in the recovery area for approximately 30 minutes for observation until our medical providers determine that you are ready to be discharged.
While receiving a course of ketamine infusions, you will be periodically evaluated to provide ongoing support. Additionally, all patients will receive psychiatric follow-up after completing their infusion sessions.
