Nebulized ketamine offers a promising alternative for pain management, providing rapid absorption and effective delivery with potentially fewer side effects and better patient compliance due to the smaller volume required for nebulization. A systematic review of nine primary studies indicates that nebulized ketamine is a safe and efficacious treatment for acute pain. However, the evidence is still emerging, and further research is needed to understand its pharmacokinetics, optimal dosing, and efficacy across different populations.
