Summary
Hypothesis: The intraoperative administration of ketamine will result in a 30% reduction in
opiate requirement following endometrial ablation surgery and the intraoperative
administration of ketamine will result in a decreased time to meet discharge criteria in the
PACU following endometrial ablation surgery.
The research question is "Does intraoperative administration of ketamine result in decreased
postoperative opiate requirement and time to discharge from the postanesthesia recovery unit
(PACU) following hysteroscopic endometrial ablation".
