Experience is knowledge.
As a registered nurse licensed to practice in three states CEU has become a part time job. Some of it is good, some interesting, some applicable. All of it makes me a better nurse, that is my experience.
In assisting in hundreds of intubations I have only seen atomidate, versed, and a short acting paralytic such as succinylcholine or intermediate acting such as cisatracurium used for the most part including pt's with bronchospasm. That is also my experience.
I stand by my statement that ketamine has a role (based upon my experience in hospital and reading) in OR and PEDS for the most part again. If it were otherwise it would be used all over by qualified providers for IV sedation and analgesia according to your statements. I dont see large groups of investors rushing out to buy stock in katamine but now that the cat is out of the bag Im sure to.
I dont what your qualifications or background are greg as your profile isnt really filled out but lets say you are an MD based on your assertions for the sake of this conversation.
Of course you dont use ketamine for long term sedation, and your experience with it is "limited" for a reason isnt it?

BTW, the "drug rep" comment was supposed to be a joke
