Study Summary

The goal of this Randomized controlled double-blinded trial is to compare the addition of a ketamine infusion to placebo, when added to standard care in adult blunt trauma patients with multiple rib fractures. The main question it aims to answer are: • addition of low dose ketamine infusion (LDKI) decreases narcotic use • does LDKI impact pulmonary complications, readmission, or hospital length of stay Participants will receive usual standard of care with up to 48 hours of LDKI or placebo. If there is a comparison group: Researchers will compare infusion of a saline infusion to LDKI to see if LDKI decreases need for narcotic analgesics use.

Primary Outcome

Standardized method of reporting narcotic analgesic administration by converting opioid narcotics to the equivalent dosage of morphine that would yield same result.
