I wish you the best and pray for you during your heart cath tomorrow. Why the ketamine treatments for what? I worked as recovery room RN for 20 years yes we did use ketamine but in the earlier days. I have recovered patients from ketamine. They also give ketamine iv to kids in the ER when they need to reset a closed reduction of a fracture. I never had a patient have hallucinations on ketamine. However, the nurse and others around the patient quietness is key. They should be very quiet no loud noises around you to awake you. I would bet they are going to use a low dose of ketamine and you are going to be just fine.......... the ketamine questions direct them right to the anesthesiologist MD he this is his speciality and that is who administers it. Let us know.

Man they sure are putting you through some major tests here my friend. I will say a prayer for you tonight as I am sure others on this board are as well. Vicky
