Ketamine is a helpful adjunct in patients with severe pain that have already been treated with opiates.

Etomidate and ketamine were equally safe when used as trauma airway induction agents.

Pretreatment with dexamethasone 10mg IV before or with antibiotics for adults with bacterial meningitis improved neurological outcome and decreased mortality.
