Ketamine is a drug used in human and veterinary medicine mainly for starting and maintaining general anesthesia. Other uses include sedation in intensive care as a pain killer (particularly in emergency medicine and patients with potentially compromised respiration and/or allergies to opiate and barbiturate analgesics) and treatment of bronchospasm. This drug is sometimes used recreationally.
