KetaDex

KetaDex is the drug combination of Ketamine and Dexmedetomidine.

The combination of these sedative analgesics have similar pharmacokinetic parameters and synergy of clinical effects that provide a state of sedation and analgesia without respiratory depression.

A similar level of sedo-analgesia induced with benzodiazepines and opioids would likely result in hypoventilation and possibly apnea.
