Lidocaine and Ketamine Levels in Plasma After Simultaneous Lidocaine/Ketamine Infusions

About This Study

The aim of this monocentric observational pilot study is to measure the lidocaine plasma level in a limited number of patients to generate explorative data on inter- and intrapersonal stability and safety of drug plasma levels and to investigate whether higher plasma levels of ketamine can be correlated with a better analgesic effect.
