Hello, I know that Ketamine sometimes causes non-purposeful movements and hyperreflexia. But, I have seen two burn patients (one electrocution and the other was spilled gas on a fire) that have had prolonged trismus when Ketamine was used as an induction agent. Needless to say, it cause some moments of anxiety. I have looked at Micromedex (a pharm database at work), spoke with a Pharmacist and checked a few other sources but nothing conclusive. However, it is odd that it happened so profoundly, twice, with two different burn patients. Has anybody had issues with trismus and Ketamine? Thank you, David
