Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to:

1\. Establish whether ketamine can decrease opioid consumption and modulate the onset of opioid tolerance and prevent opioid-induced hyperalgesia in pediatric subjects, ages 10 years to 18 years, undergoing posterior spinal fusion and instrumentation.
