[Journal Club #12 + Coffee Club]: Is Ketamine Safe with History of Psychosis?
Today we posted the following 12th journal club in PEFA Journal Club’s discussion series and discussion with an expert in our Coffee Club’s discussion section:
Journal Club #12:
Is Ketamine Safe with History of Psychosis & Implications for Its Therapeutic Use.
Article: JAMA Network Open. 2020 May; 3(5): e204693.
This journal club will answer the following seven clinically relevant questions:
- Can a single dose of ketamine induce acute psychotic episodes when given to those who never had psychosis?
- Risk of psychosis in patients with a history of schizophrenia.
- Does ketamine affect both positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia?
- Role of bolus before continuous infusion of ketamine in producing psychotic symptoms and do this differ for positive versus negative symptoms?
- Do psychosis risk differs between intravenous and non-intravenous mode of ketamine delivery?
- Timeline for onset and duration of psychosis after ketamine administration.
- Role of observer-rated scales for psychosis (BPRS/PANSS) in schizophrenia versus psychosis induced by hallucinogens/psychotomimetics.
Note: CME Credits not available for this educational activity.
FOR PEFA MEMBERS ONLY:
In this Coffee Club Dr. Asim Shah will answer the following clinical questions:
- Should this risk of psychosis stop us from considering ketamine in our practice?
- Who is an ideal patient to go for ketamine/esketamine therapy?
- Is there a subgroup of depressed patients that may respond better to ketamine?
- What is the balanced course of the length of treatment with ketamine?
- Is it possible to predict non-responders early on, so we can avoid long exposure?
- Advice for practitioners who are still skeptical about the use of ketamine.
