Pre-Operative Ketamine Infusion for Post Operative Pain Control After Revision Spinal Surgery

Abstract

To determine if a pre-operative ketamine infusion would provide a similar decrease in post-operative analgesic and opioid consumption as intra-operative ketamine, but expand the monitoring period through the post-operative phase up to 90 days. Hypothesis is that pre-operative ketamine infusion will lead to a decrease in narcotic consumption from baseline following an elective cervical or lumbar fusion, leading to increased functionality and quality of life for these patients.
