Pupillary Dilation After Incremental Tetanic Stimulations Under Ketamine Sedation
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The aim of the study was to describe the relationship between the intensity of a standardized tetanic stimulation and the associated reflex pupillary dilation in patients under ketamine sedation.
After an intravenous bolus of 1 mg/kg of ketamine, tetanic stimulations were performed every minute at increasing intensities of 10, 20, 30, 40 and 60 milliamps (similar to the stimulations of neuromuscular blocking agents monitoring). Pupillary diameter was measured before and after each stimulation.

Experimental: Ketamine sedation Procedure scheduled under ketamine sedation. Baseline pupillary diameter measurement in alert subjects. Injection of a bolus of 1 mg/kg of ketamine. Every minute, tetanic stimulations of incremental intensities (10-20-30-40-60 milliamps), during 5 seconds. Pupillary diameter measurement before and after each stimulation. End of study period, beginning of procedure. |

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Pupillary dilation: difference between post- and pre-stimulation pupillary diameter assessed by videopupillometry [30 seconds after each stimulation (6 stimulations per patient)]
Non-invasive measurement of pupillary diameter using an infrared camera, for each of the 6 stimulations per patient
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Heart rate variation [30 seconds after each stimulation]
