CRD SUMMARY:

This review assessed the efficacy and safety of ketamine for the control of post-operative pain. The authors concluded that the role of ketamine in peri-operative analgesia remains unclear. The authors acknowledged that the evidence was weak in some areas. However, their conclusions appear suitably cautious and the recommendations for further research seem reasonable.
