Reporting limit determined each analysis
Units: ng/mL
Norketamine: None Detected
The intravenous administration of 2 mg/kg of Ketamine followed by continuous infusion of 41 mcg/kg/minute produced an average steady-state plasma concentration of 2200 ng Ketamine/mL and an average peak Norketamine level of 1050 ng/mL which occurred near the end of the 3 hour infusion.
Ketamine: None Detected
Reported levels during anesthesia: 500-6500 ng/mL
