Hi folks! This episode I discuss the tragic death of Elijah McClain in Aurora whilst in police custody and my thoughts on the role of ketamine in his death when it was administered by paramedics upon request of police. I provide some updated research articles on the safety and efficacy of prehospital ketamine and other sedatives in managing prehospital acute behavioural disturbance. From Death We learn.
