Summary
The objective of the study is to compare the effects of 48 hours ketamine infusion versus
sufentanil infusion on brain glutamate concentrations measured with microdialysis after
traumatic brain injury.
We hypothesize that ketamine infusion will decrease high glutamate values faster than
sufentanil.
