Pre-Operative Ketamine Infusion for Post Operative Pain Control After Revision Spinal Surgery

Description

To determine if a pre-operative ketamine infusion would provide a similar decrease in post-operative analgesic and opioid consumption as intra-operative ketamine, but expand the monitoring period through the post-operative phase up to 90 days. Hypothesis is that pre-operative ketamine infusion will lead to a decrease in narcotic consumption from baseline following an elective cervical or lumbar fusion, leading to increased functionality and quality of life for these patients.

Non Randomized Cohort Study to Evaluate Pre-operative Ketamine Infusion for the Decrease Overall Pain Levels Following Revision Cervical or Lumbar Fusion Surgery Through the Post-operative Phase, Decreasing Reliance on Opioids for Daily Pain Control, Opioid Related Adverse Events, as Well as Improving Mood, Functionality, and Quality of Life for Patients That Live With Chronic Pain Syndromes.
