Brief Summary

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

The current standard of care (SOC) (i.e. fentanyl and midazolam) offers limited efficacy for preventing or relieving pain. Ketamine infusions may provide the benefits of analgesia, minimize adverse events, and reduce opioid use. The purpose of this study is to determine if adding a low dose ketamine infusion during wound care will safely provide pain relief for patients with burn injury.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

Patients will be randomly enrolled by blocks according to age, burn size, and opioid use history. Study treatment will occur for up to 7 days. Assignment will be to placebo or ketamine and all participants and staff will be blinded, except pharmacy. Each patient will receive standard of care fentanyl and midazolam during wound care regardless of study assignment.
