The current standard of care (SOC) (i.e. fentanyl and midazolam) offers limited efficacy for preventing or relieving pain. Ketamine infusions may provide the benefits of analgesia, minimize adverse events, and reduce opioid use. The purpose of this study is to determine if adding a low dose ketamine infusion during wound care will safely provide pain relief for patients with burn injury.
